Holy Night in Traunstein: Bavarian Christmas Legend with Goosebumps

On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Holy Night by Ludwig Thoma will fill the Protestant Resurrection Church Traunstein with warm sound and quiet intensity. Speaker Schorsch Unterholzner interprets Thoma's verses, accompanied by the male quartet Goaßara Schoilehra with fine zither – a compact concert experience for Advent, freely accessible to all.

Authentic Live Atmosphere in the Church Space

Neo-Gothic architecture, natural acoustics, and the intimate closeness between stage and audience create an audience atmosphere that carries every word and every melody. The zither lines interweave with the quartet singing, while the verses of the Christmas legend sound clear and unpretentious – chamber music-like, precise in orchestrations, perfectly synchronized with the spoken narrative.

Ludwig Thoma: Tradition that Touches

The Christmas legend was created in 1915/16 on the Tuften at Tegernsee and is today a cultural heritage of Bavaria. Its clear language, folk-friendly tone, and dramatic tension lead back to the parlors of the Upper Lands. In Traunstein, this tradition unfolds as a living concert experience between word, song, and fine tone color.

Sound Image: Voice, Quartet Singing, and Zither

Unterholzner's speaking leads focus on articulation, pulse, and fine dynamics. The male quartet forms warm harmonies, while the zither lays sparkling overtone veils above – a sound that does not rely on electronic effects and is supported by the room's acoustics. The stage performance remains puristic: text guided by the voice, music as breathing interspaces.

On-site Service

The Resurrection Church is centrally located at Martin-Luther-Platz. In Traunstein, there are parking options and good public transport connections; accessible entrances with ramps are indicated. The evening lasts about 75 minutes – ideal for a dense Advent hour without a break.
