Summer Sounds at Schafhof: An Evening Full of Choral Sound, Warmth, and Joy of Life

When the Asamchor Freising performs on July 5, 2026, at Schafhof - European Art Forum Upper Bavaria, finely crafted choral music meets summer lightness. The concert "Summer Sounds" promises an evening that connects images of nature, operatic colors, and great choral literature in a vivid dramaturgy.

A Program Between Haydn, Elgar, and Gershwin

At the center is summer from Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Seasons. In addition, there will be international choral music by Edward Elgar, Morten Lauridsen, and Nils Lindberg, operatic sounds from Charles Gounod, as well as Henry Purcell's haunting Cold Song from King Arthur. With Gershwin's 3 Preludes and the famous Summertime, the program further opens up towards jazz and modern sound language.

Voices, Timbres, and Dramatic Tension

The Asamchor has been a staple in the cultural life of Freising for years and, according to their own statement, brings around 70 singers to the stage. The repertoire ranges from sacred choral works to demanding contemporary pieces. For this concert, experienced soloists Isabella Gantner, Emmanuel Brennich, and Tung-Hsing Tsai, along with a pianist, are ready to give the evening vocal presence and sonic depth.

A Summer Evening with Musical Radiance

The mix of classical choral music, operatic color, and popular song material promises a concert experience with soft melting and clear contours. In the interplay of choir, solo voices, and piano, a live atmosphere is created that swings between contemplative calm and musical energy. This is exactly where the charm of this evening lies: not just listening but feeling sound as a summer experience.

The Venue: Schafhof as a Mood-Setting Backdrop

The Schafhof - European Art Forum Upper Bavaria is located on the outskirts of Freising at Am Schafhof 1. The exhibition rooms and the café are accessible without barriers. As a cultural place with a connection to nature and a special atmosphere, Schafhof is perfectly suited for a program thematically centered around warmth, nature, and joy of life.

Conclusion: "Summer Sounds" connects great choral literature, strong solo voices, and a special concert venue into an evening of emotional depth and summer lightness. Those who want to experience choral music live should mark this date in Freising.
