An evening full of sound magic at St. Michaelis
On August 31, 2026, Italian virtuosity meets romantic expressiveness in Braunschweig: At the concert Spell of the Violin, violin concertos by Paganini and Mendelssohn will be performed with the orchestra Josef&Friends in the historic St. Michaelis Church.
Virtuoso, passionate, immediate
The evening promises a concert experience that thrives on tight orchestration, delicately outlined solo passages, and an intense live atmosphere. Paganini's dazzling brilliance and Mendelssohn's melodic elegance form an appealing contrast that can be particularly poignant in the church space.
St. Michaelis as a sound-rich framework
The Michaelis Church is one of the defining locations of the historic Michaelis quarter in Braunschweig and is located at Echternstraße 67. The sacred space creates an intimate, focused audience atmosphere, where the colors of strings, dynamics, and resonance can be experienced particularly closely.
