Glowing stained-glass windows in an empty space. Its past as a chapel for the U.S. Armed Forces is still clearly evident in the CHAPEL, now a community center and hub for urban culture in Heidelberg’s Südstadt district. Creating an experience of reflection in this space is the mission of a creative group from the Festivalcampus-Ensemble. It is not only excerpts from Brahms’ famous “Four Serious Songs” that touch upon the deepest questions of our existence. Rarely heard sounds on the cello, double bass, accordion, and solo timpani also seek to touch us where light and darkness, infinity and connectedness become palpable. Together with Josua Bernbeck, an alumnus of the Heidelberger Frühling Liedakademie, and Heidelberg-based light artist Nils Herbstrieth, a total work of art is created that envelops us from all sides—sometimes with a riot of colors, sometimes with darkness.

Admission is free.
