Sound cinema under the church vaults: Organ meets percussion – experiencing film music anew

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Protestant Resurrection Church Traunstein will transform into an acoustic cinema: Dean's cantor Matthias Bertelshofer at the organ and Anno Kesting on percussion interpret great film scores in captivating arrangements – an intense concert experience with free admission.

Live atmosphere that paints pictures

The room acoustics of the Resurrection Church carry the warm organ sound far through the nave. Precise registration, broad breathing arcs and the natural reverberation create depth. In addition, the percussion unfolds a finely tuned spectrum of colors – from the silky shimmer of the cymbals to the earthy pulse of the drums. This creates a sound in Cinemascope that immediately brings scenes, tension, and emotion to life.

Orchestration from two instruments

When register changes, manual changes, and pedal legato of the organ are synchronized with vibraphone, timpani, and small percussion details, an orchestral overall sound grows from two voices. Themes are contoured, secondary motifs highlighted, and climaxes are dramaturgically guided – a dual conducting that balances the audience's mood between goosebumps and contemplative moments.

Masters of their craft

Matthias Bertelshofer shapes church music in Traunstein as dean's cantor with choir leadership, organ playing, and program design. Anno Kesting stands for sonic curiosity and stylistic openness – from lyrical vibraphone to energetic groove texture. Together, both offer a transparent, tension-rich interpretation of iconic film music.

Acoustics, light, emotion

Subtle light outlines silhouettes, and the space focuses the sound: bass foundations radiate rich, high voices shine glassy. Close-up, cut, panorama – every crescendo feels cinematic and close. The concert experience becomes a journey through sound colors, motifs, and memories.

Service & Arrival

The Resurrection Church is centrally located at Martin-Luther-Platz 6. A barrier-free access is possible through a side entrance with a ramp; urban parking options and public transport connections make arrival easier. Admission is free – arriving early ensures the best seats.

Conclusion

Organ goes Cinema promises pure sound cinema: great screen themes, retold between register colors and rhythmic finesse. Experience film music that sounds grand under Gothic arches and remains emotionally close – live, intense, unforgettable.
