Film music under church vaults: Organ meets percussion in Traunstein

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Evangelische Auferstehungskirche Traunstein will transform into a hall of sounds: At the concert Organ goes Cinema, deanery cantor Matthias Bertelshofer (organ) and percussionist Anno Kesting will interpret legendary film music for pipe organ and percussion – with free admission.

Sound images in Cinemascope

The live atmosphere in the neo-Gothic resurrection church carries the melodies like a wide screen. The warm sound of the Rohlfs organ blends with finely tuned percussion colors – from the delicate shimmer of the cymbals to the earthy pulse of the drums. This creates an orchestral orchestration of two voices that brings scenes, emotions, and tension to life immediately.

Virtuosity and timing

Bertelshofer's precise playing, his sensitivity for registration and room acoustics, meets Kesting's pointed percussion artistry. In perfect synchronization, both shape dynamic arcs, accentuate themes, and create pauses for breath – a duet conducting. The audience experiences a mood between goosebumps and quiet contemplation.

Acoustics, light, emotion

The clear architecture of the church concentrates the sound, allowing bass foundations to resonate deeply and high voices to shine transparently. Subtle lighting highlights silhouettes, every increase feels cinematic: close-up, cut, panorama – a concert experience that creates images in the mind.

Context and profile

Since 2020, Matthias Bertelshofer has been shaping the church music of the region as deanery cantor, combining choir leadership, organ playing, and program design. Anno Kesting stands for sonic curiosity between contemporary music and lyrical percussion. Together they provide a chamber music interpretation of great screen themes – focused, transparent, with a sense of dramatic effect.
