An evening between baroque clarity and great chamber music
The Traunstein Summer Concerts bring together two outstanding specialists in their fields on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 7:30 PM in the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein: cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and harpsichordist Francesco Corti. The program features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, and Marin Marais, thus combining music with historical depth, technical precision, and fine tonal colors. The concert is part of the Summer Concerts 2026, which take place from September 1 to 7 at the Cultural Forum. ([traunstein.de](https://www.traunstein.de/media/11958/abl170525_neu.pdf))
Virtuoso encounter in a historic space
The Klosterkirche as a venue provides the appropriate setting for this music: a historic place that is now used as a modern cultural site with concert operations, gallery, and event rooms. For the audience, this creates exactly the blend of architectural aura and immediate live atmosphere that makes chamber music so intense. The acoustics carry the lines, the orchestration remains transparent, and every synchronization between cello and harpsichord gains excitement.

Bach, Vivaldi, and Marais in concentrated form
At the center of the evening is a program featuring a viola da gamba sonata, a harpsichord concerto, a cello sonata, and the fifth cello suite by Bach. Altstaedt is regarded as one of the most versatile musicians of his generation according to his official biography and regularly collaborates with leading orchestras, festivals, and historical performance ensembles. Corti is in international demand as a harpsichordist and conductor; his official biography lists performances in the most important concert halls in Europe as well as awards in Leipzig and Bruges. This constellation promises not just a showcase of works but a concert experience with historical tension and immediate presence.

Fine dynamics instead of grand gestures
In a space like the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche, nuance counts: the breath before a phrase, the echo of a bass line, the dialogue between articulated ornamentation and singing line. Altstaedt and Corti bring exactly the right mix of stylistic awareness and stage experience for this. This makes the evening equally attractive for Bach lovers, baroque purists, and curious concertgoers. ([nicolas-altstaedt.com](https://www.nicolas-altstaedt.com/biography?utm_source=openai))
Conclusion
Those who love the Traunstein Summer Concerts as a concentrated chamber music experience will find Concert VI a particularly exquisite date: a historic hall, a carefully curated program, and two internationally renowned musicians on an equal level. For visitors, the evening creates an experience that conveys not just music but also closeness, tension, and audible delicacy. Anyone wanting to experience this connection of space and repertoire live should mark September 6, 2026, on their calendar. ([traunstein.de](https://www.traunstein.de/media/11958/abl170525_neu.pdf))
