When the Rose Sings: a Summer Evening Between Love and Transience
On Sunday, July 12, 2026, LA ROSE – Reflections Between Love and Pain invites you to the Ascension Church Sendling. The concert by Capella Vocale Munich combines choral music, poetry, and spiritual sound colors into a stage experience that oscillates between romantic intimacy and painful beauty. With works including Morten Lauridsen, Nils Lindberg, and Bob Dylan, an evening emerges that experience the rose not as a cliché but as a cultural symbol of vulnerability, stance, and memory.

A Program with Poetic Range
At the center is the musical contemplation of the rose as an image of love, loss, and transformation. Capella Vocale Munich presents settings and choral works side by side, ranging from the Renaissance to the present. This dramatic structure gives the concert a clear inner curve: delicate lines, concentrated choral sound colors, and an interplay of transparency and density. The program idea connects to Rainer Maria Rilke's French poetry collection Les roses and opens the space for a finely tuned musical meditation.

Choral Art in Sacred Atmosphere
The Ascension Church Sendling, with its sacred aura, provides the suitable resonance space for this concert. The place creates that quiet tension in which choral sound is not only heard but physically felt. Capella Vocale Munich, a choir of about 40 singers established since 1985, is known for carefully crafted programs ranging from early music to contemporary choral literature. Under the direction of Jakob Steiner, a precisely staged sound discourse unfolds here, focusing on text interpretation, balance, and atmosphere.

With Guests from Switzerland
Particularly appealing is the return visit of the Cantus Sempachersee from the Canton of Lucerne. Pianist André Ducommun and the preparation by Katharina Benz-Wicki expand the concert with additional colors and a cross-border perspective. Thus, the evening becomes more than a choral concert: a musical dialogue about language, tradition, and European song culture, supported by concentrated stage presence and clear ensemble spirit.
