Choral Sound between Baroque and Romanticism: An Evening Full of Musical Tension in Sendling

On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Arcis Vocalists invite you at 7:00 PM to an a cappella concert at the Himmelfahrtskirche Sendling, which places two epochs of music history into an exciting dialogue.

Sound Architecture with Depth

The Arcis Vocalists, as they describe themselves, combine high sound quality with special program planning; the ensemble has been working under the direction of Thomas Gropper since 2005 and forms itself project-based with a flexibly staffed choir structure. This creates a precise orchestration of the voices for music by Schütz, Bach, and Mendelssohn, where transparency, dynamics, and articulation shape the space.

Schütz and Bach: Baroque Tension, Direct and Radiant

The first part features motets from Heinrich Schütz's Sacred Choral Music, including Verleih uns Frieden, Die mit Tränen säen, and Die Himmel erzählen, complemented by Bach's Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf and Komm, Jesu, komm. This promises a concentrated live atmosphere with clear contours, moving polyphony, and a finely balanced choral sound that directly utilizes the acoustics of a church.

Mendelssohn in the Second Part: Closeness, Text, and Emotion

After the intermission, the sibling duo Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn takes center stage, with sacred and secular choral pieces and texts from the two. The dramatic idea relies on contrasts and correspondences - a concert experience that connects historical depth with immediate audience mood and showcases the romantic choral arrangement in all its expressive range.
