30 Years SEM: An Anniversary Concert Full of Sound Colors in Munich-Sendling
When the Symphonic Ensemble Munich celebrates its 30th birthday, not only a concert evening is on the schedule, but a true concert experience with classical brilliance. On Sunday, June 28, 2026, a festive anniversary concert featuring works by Bach, Mozart, and Mendelssohn Bartholdy will resonate in the Himmelfahrtskirche Sendling.
An Evening Between Baroque Precision and Romantic Expansiveness
The SEM looks back on three successful decades and has established itself as an ambitious symphony orchestra in Munich. For the anniversary, the ensemble relies on a program that connects musical history with immediate live atmosphere: Johann Sebastian Bach in artful arrangements, Mozart's Symphony No. 29 and Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony shape an evening filled with energy, elegance, and radiant orchestration.
The Himmelfahrtskirche as a Resonance Space
The Himmelfahrtskirche Munich-Sendling is regarded as an atmospheric concert venue with fine acoustics and a special closeness between the stage and the audience. This mix enhances the audience's atmosphere for symphonic music: transparent strings, clear woodwind lines, and precise conducting unfold their effect particularly intensely in the church space.
A Program with Musical Character
The program includes, among other works, Bach's Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme and the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor in arrangements by David J. Miller and Thierry Caens. Additionally, Mozart's Symphony No. 29 in A major KV 201 and Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A major op. 90, the Italian, will be performed. The concert will be conducted by Felix Mayer, who has shaped the orchestra since 2003 and represents both stylistic clarity and tonal coherence.
What Visitors Can Expect
This anniversary concert combines the experience of a grown sound body with the concentration of a festive Sunday evening. Those who love symphonic music will receive a high-quality live experience in familiar Munich concert culture, driven by passion, precision, and musical tension. The SEM's anniversary deserves a direct path to the Himmelfahrtskirche.
