When Tango and Sacred Music Meet in Munich

On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the Munich Motet Choir will transform the St. Matthäus Church in Munich into a space full of tension, sound depth, and spiritual intensity. The program features Martín Palmeri's Misa Tango and Frank Martin's Mass for Double Choir – two works that pose the same great musical question in very different ways: What does faith sound like in the 20th and 21st centuries?

An Evening Between Passion and Devotion

Palmeri's Misa Tango combines liturgical tradition with the striking gestures of Nuevo Tango. The music breathes rhythm, contrast, and dramatic tension, while Frank Martin's Mass for Double Choir unfolds a different, finely balanced intensity with its dense polyphony and unique sound architecture for double choir. Together, they create a concert experience that brings emotion and form, movement and stillness, physicality and contemplation into rare balance.

Sound Space St. Matthäus

The St. Matthäus Church at Nußbaumpark provides an architecturally impressive setting for this. The sacred space carries choral sound with particular presence, making the fine voices, precise orchestration of the choir, and the solo colors of bandoneon, mezzo-soprano, and piano resonate directly. In this acoustics, the live atmosphere gains depth: Every entry, every synchronization of voices, and every dynamic shift becomes part of a grand musical narrative.

A Program with Strong Dramaturgy

The Munich Motet Choir brings its sonic expertise and experience from a broad repertoire between a cappella music and major choral works to this evening. Benedikt Haag leads the ensemble with clear conducting through two works that demand high precision and reward great emotional openness. Those who love sacred choral music will not experience a static evening here, but a concert full of tension, color changes, and compelling audience mood.

Conclusion: Choral Music That Touches the Soul

This concert promises more than a classical church program. It combines the sensuality of Tango with the seriousness of major mass compositions, creating an evening that resonates long after. Anyone seeking strong choral art, extraordinary harmony, and a special venue should experience this event live.
