A church filled with music!
130 concerts and musical events every year, more than 180 services with curch music, more than 500 devotions with organ music: the Frauenkirche is filled with music all year round.
As Johann Sebastian Bach once put it: "Church music is recreation for the mind" - so music has a firm place within the life of the Frauenkirche. Virtuosity, diversity and expressiveness impress every time anew - look and see! The panorama of the chosen works is broad, the quality of the musicians' performances simply awe-inspiring. So be invited to get to know the music in the Frauenkirche. Come, sit down and listen to the amazing sounds underneath the dome - be it in concerts, services or musical events that combine word and sound.
Church music
As a symbol of Protestant church building, the Frauenkirche is virtually predestined for an intensive cultivation of church music. Then as now, church music is a substantial part of the life of the Frauenkirche. The architecture of the Frauenkirche, where the organ is placed in the front and right above the altar indicates impressively the Protestant understanding of sacred music: music as proclamation and worship.
In the rebuilt Frauenkirche, services and musical events, relating to its historical function as a house of God, stand in the foreground. In this regard, its very own Protestant church music is being performed. Apart from the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, the works of a former Kreuzkirche choir master and Frauenkirche organist Gottfried August Homilius and other baroque masters are enriching the services and musical events.
