Sound of the Season

Warm harmonies, transparent vocal leadership, and careful orchestration of the choir registers characterize this Advent concert. The mixed amateur choir from Traunstein, founded in 1911 and bearer of the Zelter plaque, interprets reflective literature from traditional Advent songs to modern arrangements – finely balanced in sound and sensitive in direction.

Live Atmosphere in the Monastery Church

The former Capuchin monastery church offers a natural resonance with its architecture. The interplay of spatial sound, light, and calm stage performance lets every phrase resonate. In this live atmosphere, the music unfolds its full effect: breaths become quieter, the audience's mood intensifies, and the evening becomes a shared moment of reflection.

Chiemgau Cultural Tradition with Contemporary Sound

The Chiemgau Choir has shaped the musical life of the region for over a century – from Traunstein's Advent singing to large annual concerts. Today, the choir combines stylistic diversity and precise synchronization of the voices. This creates colorful soundscapes between classical choral literature and contemporary compositions.
