Cantata Service Reminiszere: Music, Liturgy and Comfort in Traunstein

Cantata Service Reminiszere: Sound of Confidence in the Passion Season

In the midst of the quiet weeks of the Passion Season, the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation Traunstein invites you to a special experience of faith: a cantata service on Reminiszere Sunday. Spiritual community, prayer, and music come together – for a religious experience that touches heart and mind.

Liturgy and Music: Telemann's Word of Comfort Unfolds

In the service, Georg Philipp Telemann's cantata ‘Nevertheless, I shall always remain with You’ (TWV 1:224) sounds, a work for Reminiszere Sunday. Bass-baritone Thomas Hamberger performs the aria powerfully and intimately; an ensemble from the Traunstein choir plays under the direction and at the organ of Cantor Matthias Bertelshofer. Violinists Lukas Praxmarer and Judith Schreyer create fine lines that sensuously make audible the biblical promise from Psalm 73: closeness of God, trust, comfort.

Preaching in the Passion Season

Pastor Dr. Woty Gollwitzer-Voll leads through scriptural readings, prayer, and preaching with theological grounding. In the clear liturgy, space is created for calmness and reflection – a spiritual atmosphere that invites prayer and personal assurance in faith.

Place with History: Resurrection Church Traunstein

The neo-Gothic Resurrection Church at Martin-Luther-Platz has shaped the cityscape since 1899. Its bright space, organ sound, and good acoustics create ideal conditions for cantatas, congregational singing, and silence. Centrally located and easily accessible – a church space that fosters community.

Experience Community: Arrive, Sing Along, Linger

Together singing, praying, listening: The congregation warmly invites all interested – denomination does not matter. After the service, there will be an opportunity for brief exchange in the spirit of the Passion Season. Those who love church music will find a dense, yet simple celebration of faith here.
