A summer evening full of voices, birds, and baroque sound magic in St. Aegidien
On June 26, 2026, St. Aegidien Church in Braunschweig will transform into a space for sensitive vocal art, rhythmic fantasy, and an extraordinary multi-day experience in miniature: The Bird.Voices.Festival. from Seicento vocale encounters the virtuosity of OPUS KLASSIK award winner Max Volbers. This concert is not an ordinary evening but a poetic nature theater from the Renaissance, early Baroque, and modern times.
A program that hovers between heaven, forest, and concert hall
The musical dramaturgy unfolds with works by Luca Marenzio, Orlando di Lasso, Clément Janequin, Melchior Vulpius, Johannes Eccard, Hans Leo Hassler, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Jacobus Clemens non Papa, and Moritz Eggert. At the center is Nacht.Tick.All., a highly virtuosic sound idea in which human voices and solo recorder intertwine like birds. This creates a festival atmosphere that piques curiosity and opens the imagination with every beat.
The church space as a resonating body for deep feelings
St. Aegidien provides the perfect setting for this majestic concert. The church and concert space become instruments themselves, as the arrangement of the ensemble reflects the score and its multi-choir aspects. This results in an intense listening experience with spatial depth, echo effects, and an open acoustics that is particularly suited for historical vocal music. Here lies the strength of Seicento vocale: precise, transparent, and full of expression.
