Festive Trumpet Brilliance for Reformation Day in Suhl

On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the main church St. Marien in Suhl will transform into a resonant space for festive music. Under the title "A Mighty Fortress," the Dresden Trumpet Quartet will perform at 4 PM with a colorful concert for four trumpets and organ.

Baroque Splendor Within Church Walls

The program leads directly into the sound world of the Baroque: Works by Giovanni Gabrieli, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Johann Sebastian Bach combine radiant trumpet colors with the majestic richness of the organ. In the acoustics of the main church, the voices unfold a special spatial effect – from festive tutti passages to finely tuned chamber music moments.

Virtuoso Timbres and Precise Orchestration

A special highlight of the program is the arrangement of Bach's aria "Sheep May Safely Graze" from cantata BWV 208. Piccolo trumpet, two hunting horns, and organ create an unusual sound image that combines Bach's melodic elegance with the radiant brilliance of historically influenced trumpet colors. Precise synchronization, differentiated conducting from the interplay, and a concentrated stage performance define the concert experience.

An Ensemble with a Long Concert Tradition

The Dresden Trumpet Quartet was formed in the summer of 2008 from four Dresden trumpeters: Moritz Hendrich, Marcus Kuhn, Tilman Peter, and Christoph Reiche. In the following year, Josef Simeth joined as the fifth ensemble member. Since then, the ensemble's concerts have taken place in varying formations through churches in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Brandenburg.

Music on Reformation Day

The title "A Mighty Fortress" refers to one of the most famous hymns of the Reformation and gives the concert a festive spiritual framework. In connection with the historic main church St. Marien, an evening of concerts emerges that brings together music history, sacred space, and immediate live atmosphere.

Your Concert Experience in the Main Church St. Marien

Visitors can expect a powerful church concert with radiant natural trumpet colors, virtuosic arrangements, and the supporting strength of the organ. Those who appreciate festive brass music, Bach, Baroque sound language, and the unique audience atmosphere of a church space will experience a musical Reformation Day with great impact in Suhl.

Conclusion: The Dresden Trumpet Quartet brings festive music by Gabrieli, Telemann, and Bach to the main church St. Marien on October 31, 2026. Mark your calendars and experience the radiant trumpet sound live in Suhl.
