Solo and Symphony: Three Centuries of String Music in the Freising Mariendom

On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Freising Mariendom will transform into an impressive concert hall for a festive orchestral concert. The Freising Cathedral Orchestra will present selected string music from three centuries under the direction of Luka Juric. The concert starts at 5 PM.

Baroque Sound Splendor and Classical Brilliance

The program combines the expressive energy of the Baroque with the clear formal language of the 19th century. Featured will be Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Violins, Strings, and Basso continuo in A minor, Carlo Ricciotti's Concerto in G major, and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's String Symphony No. 10 in B minor.

The musical dramaturgy transitions from concertante agility to symphonic expansiveness. Precise orchestration, finely tuned string groups, and the interplay of solo violin and tutti characterize the evening. In the special acoustics of the Mariendom, articulation, resonance, and dynamic contrasts create an intense live atmosphere.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Violin Concerto as the Highlight

At the center of the concert is Johann Sebastian Bach's Violin Concerto in E major. The work merges virtuosic solo passages with a transparent accompaniment and places the highest demands on musical synchronization, sound balance, and stage performance.

The solo violin will be played by Franz Scheuerer, who has shaped the Freising Cathedral Orchestra as concertmaster for over 30 years. With Bach's Violin Concerto, he bids farewell to the Freising Domberg. His personal connection to this work adds a special emotional dimension to the evening.

A Farewell with Great Musical Significance

Franz Scheuerer is regarded as a long-time influential concertmaster of the Cathedral Orchestra. His departure combines musical virtuosity with a moment of reflection. The audience and ensemble will experience a concert that brings together Baroque solo artistry, romantic string colors, and the story of a familiar musician.

Concert Experience in the Historic Mariendom

The Freising Mariendom provides a sonorous setting for this festive concert. Between historic architecture and far-reaching space acoustics, a special connection arises from sacred space, concentrated conducting, and vibrant audience atmosphere.

The Freising Cathedral Orchestra invites you to an evening that connects musical epochs and honors the farewell of a long-time concertmaster. Those who wish to experience Vivaldi, Bach, Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and orchestral string sounds live should not miss this concert in the Mariendom.
