Cello Sound with Broader Perspective: The Traunstein Summer Concerts Open Their Fifth Chapter
On Saturday, September 5, 2026, the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein will present an evening that combines chamber music precision and profound emotion. Under the motto Real, the fascination for arrangements and originals will be at the center of the fifth concert of the Traunstein Summer Concerts – featuring Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B minor and Symphony No. 9 in E minor From the New World in arrangements for multiple cellos by Paul Handschke. Maximilian Hornung has been shaping the series as Artistic Director since 2022; his profile as an internationally sought-after cellist, conductor, and chamber musician is well documented.

An Evening Between Original and Reinvention
The programs of the summer concerts in Traunstein thrive on clever dramaturgy, and this concert fits exactly here. Dvořák's Cello Concerto is considered one of the major cornerstones of the literature, while the arrangement for five cellos redraws the sound architecture and provides unusual transparency in the movement changes. The New World also appears in the version for six cellos not as a mere reduction, but as a fresh orchestration in miniature format – close to the musical substance and yet surprisingly present.

Maximilian Hornung and an Ensemble with True Radiance
The performers include Maximilian Hornung, Benjamin Nyffenegger, Anna Tyka Nyffenegger, Sandro Meszaros, Thomas Grossenbacher, and Paul Handschke. Hornung is described on his website as a cellist of exceptional technical mastery, great sound color variety, and intense audience engagement; furthermore, the biography refers to performances with leading orchestras and festivals, to his ARD award with the Tecchler Trio, and to his role as Artistic Director of the Traunstein Summer Concerts. This mixture of authority and musical curiosity gives weight to the evening. ([maximilianhornung.com](https://www.maximilianhornung.com/about?utm_source=openai))
The Atmosphere of the Klosterkirche
The Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein connects historical architecture with modern event technology. The location is situated at Ludwigstraße 10, offering according to the operator a barrier-free elevator, accessible restroom, and cloakrooms. The train station is within walking distance, and parking is available in the underground garage at the station, on Ludwigstraße, and at Karl-Theodor-Platz. For concerts, seating arrangements for up to 370 people are provided – enough closeness for intimate chamber music, enough space for great resonance.

Why Attending is Worthwhile
Those who listen live to this evening will not experience a routine repertoire concert, but a musical experiment with maximum emotional impact. The combination of Dvořák's pathos, the appealing instrumentation of several cellos, and the unique acoustics of the Klosterkirche promises a concert experience that unites warmth, tension, and form. Traunstein gets a program here that convinces connoisseurs and immediately captivates the curious.

Conclusion: The Traunstein Summer Concerts demonstrate with Concert V how lively classical music can sound when original and arrangement meet on equal terms. Those who want to hear Dvořák anew and experience great cello culture in a special setting should mark this evening and be there live.
