A New Year's Eve with Bach: Organ Sound, Word, and Silence
As the old year feels its last heartbeat, the church space opens for a special stage experience: An hour of Johann Sebastian Bach – supported by organ music and selected readings. In the clear theater atmosphere of St. Michael, a focused end to the year unfolds, gathering heart and mind.
Organ Brilliance in the Last Hour of the Year
The large organ of St. Michael makes Bach's lines shine: articulated, transparent, with that acoustics that carries even soft registers into the stone space. The evening's dramaturgy relies on condensation instead of fireworks: inner movement, breathless calm, fine embellishments – music as a light mood.
Word and Sound in Dialogue
Between the sentences, the texts come into the light. They sharpen perception, give resonance to the music. This creates a staging of listening: the sequence of pieces directs the stage, the setting is provided by the Gothic space with its late medieval outlines, the costumes are the black of the night and the gold of the pipes.
Historical Space, Living Presence
St. Michael – the oldest building in the city – shapes the audience's reaction: mindfulness. Here architecture breathes; here walls, galleries, and tower carry the music. The Fürth church music tradition focuses on excellence and proximity: artistic precision, clear articulation, lively phrases.
What You Will Experience
A concentrated hour without pomp: Bach's keyboard rhetoric, fine articulation of the organ, texts as a soft echo. The theatrical art of the minimal – an evening that whispers more than it calls, thus resonating long after.
Conclusion: A contemplative, artistic hour is expected in the dialogue of music and language – ideal for consciously closing the year. Go there, dive in, take the last chord into the new year.
