Music for the Night: Marie-Sophie Pollak sings Baroque at St. Michael
On Friday, October 9, 2026, the Kreuzkapelle of the Jesuit Church St. Michael will transform into an intimate sound space for sensitive Baroque music. The internationally renowned soprano Marie-Sophie Pollak will perform together with Veronika Egger on the Baroque violin, Katerina Giannitsioti on the Baroque cello, and Matthias Egger on the harpsichord for an evening of chamber music as part of the 18th Munich Organ Autumn.
Historical Instruments, Immediate Sound Colors
The program combines the expressiveness of the human voice with the transparent sound world of historical instruments. Works by Giacomo Carissimi, Marco Uccellini, R. I. Mayer, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Georg Friedrich Händel showcase central facets of Baroque music: from vocal drama and speaking melody to virtuosic instrumental accompaniment.
A Kreuzkapelle Full of Musical Proximity
The special atmosphere of the Kreuzkapelle brings voices and instruments closely together. The Baroque violin, Baroque cello, and harpsichord form a finely tuned orchestration, while Pollak's soprano alternates between clear articulation, emotional tension, and stylistic awareness. The historical acoustics make embellishments, breath, and resonances immediately perceptible.
Baroque Music as a Lively Concert Experience
Marie-Sophie Pollak regularly performs music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Her concert calendar includes performances with renowned ensembles and programs focusing on Johann Sebastian Bach, sacred music, and historical performance practice. At St. Michael, this expertise meets the chamber music interplay of an ensemble that puts the dialogue between singing, continuo, and solo lines in the foreground.
Important Notes for the Concert Evening
The concert will begin at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:30 PM via Ettstraße. Seating is limited. Unfortunately, access to the Kreuzkapelle is not possible for wheelchair users.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect a concentrated Baroque evening with an expressive soprano, historical instruments, and an exceptionally immediate live atmosphere. Those who wish to experience music in its chamber music proximity will find a particularly atmospheric concert venue in the Kreuzkapelle.
