An evening when the violin makes the air in Braunschweig shine
With Incanto del Violino, the orchestra Josef & Friends invites you to the St. Michaelis Church in Braunschweig on August 31, 2026. The focus is on the great violin concertos by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Niccolò Paganini – in an extraordinary arrangement for solo violin and string orchestra. The concert begins at 7:00 PM, tickets cost 25 Euro. ([st-michaelis-bs.de](https://www.st-michaelis-bs.de/konzerte/192149/detail))
Virtuoso tension between romanticism and fireworks
This concert promises an intense concert experience with precise orchestration, a luminous palette of timbres, and that electrifying live atmosphere that only a string orchestra can create in a church setting. Josef Ziga shapes the solo part as a dialogue between elegance and urgency, while the acoustics of the Michaeliskirche open the sound space wide and soft. The evening combines classical repertoire with direct audience engagement and a stage presence that focuses on closeness rather than distance.

A program with concert literature of significance
Mendelssohn and Paganini represent two very different poles of violin artistry: lyrical clarity on one side, technical brilliance and almost demonic virtuosity on the other. It is from this tension that the strength of the evening derives. The arrangement for solo violin and string orchestra promises transparency in sound, sharp contours in conducting, and that pull which separates a good classical concert from an ordinary program item.

St. Michaelis as a fitting concert venue
The Michaeliskirche at Echternstraße 67 is one of the defining places in the Michaelisviertel. For access on-site, the community names the address Echternstraße 12, 38100 Braunschweig; according to event information, the church is not barrier-free, a ramp can be installed if needed. The community center across the street has restrooms available, but they are only accessible via several steps. This creates an atmospheric closeness, but requires a bit of planning for arrival and mobility. ([st-michaelis-bs.de](https://www.st-michaelis-bs.de/konzerte/192149/detail))
Anyone seeking an evening of classical tension, finely drawn chamber music, and an intimate church space will find the right mix here. Incanto del Violino brings great violin artistry very close to the audience – a date for all those looking for live music with soul, precision, and goosebumps. Secure your tickets now and experience the concert live in Braunschweig. ([st-michaelis-bs.de](https://www.st-michaelis-bs.de/konzerte/192149/detail))
