Recercada Enchants Braunschweig: Tower Room Concert in St. Blasii Cathedral

An afternoon full of medieval sound colors in the Braunschweig Cathedral

The Tower Room Concert 2 takes place on July 4, 2026 at 7:30 PM in the Braunschweig Cathedral and opens a window into the world of Cantigas de Santa Maria from 13th century Spain. The program is titled Of True Wonders and the Colors of the Holy Virgin and focuses on historical instruments, clear voices, and an intimate live atmosphere. Admission is free, donations are appreciated; due to limited seating, prior registration is required. ([johannis-bs.de](https://www.johannis-bs.de/fileadmin/user_upload/juni-juli26.pdf))

Sound Space with History

The Braunschweig Cathedral provides the perfect stage: a place with centuries-old brilliance, sacred acoustics, and a special presence in the cityscape. The event in St. Blasii Cathedral is limited to a small number of participants, adding closeness and excitement to the concert experience. This creates a focused space for the audience and musicians, where sound, text, and mood touch each other directly.

Ensemble Recercada and the Art of Early Music

Behind the evening is the Braunschweig ensemble Recercada, which was founded in 2004 according to MIZ and specializes in music from the 10th to the 18th century. The ensemble's profile shows a strong affinity for historically informed performance practice, lutes and plucked instruments, flutes, singing, and thematic programs. This is exactly what gives the Tower Room Concert its color: musical attention to detail, fine orchestration, and a stage performance that relies not on volume, but on aura.

Intimate Cast, Great Impact

On stage are Christine Brelowski on vielle and flutes, Miguel Callejas as baritone and on sackbut, Mia Paulus in soprano, and Simon Paulus on citoles and plucked lutes. This cast promises a finely balanced evening between sound transparency and expressive narrative power. Especially in a smaller, non-accessible church space like the Cathedral, a dense audience atmosphere arises, where every phrase matters and every echo becomes an experience.

Conclusion: A Special Concert Experience with Limited Seating

Anyone who wants to experience the interplay of medieval music, historical instrumentation, and sacred space live will find a rare date with special allure here. The Tower Room Concert 2 combines professionally grounded early music with an emotional, immediate concert atmosphere. Early reservations are worthwhile, as the seats are strictly limited.
