Church Concert 2Go - Daily!

Music to listen to again and againIn a growing atmosphere of uncertainty and bleak visions of the future, so too does the need for security and stability grow – for retreat, inner reflection, and protection. For people who find an anchor in their religion, this is certainly taken care of. But sacred spaces can also offer a temporary home to people without any classic religious connection, providing that sense of belonging and safety that is so needed right now.Church choirs have been an integral part of Christian churches since the Reformation. In rural areas, they accompany the everyday lives of village communities in a church context.Beyond that, church choirs are also places of communal activity. Due to growing religious disengagement, it is becoming increasingly difficult for choirs to recruit enough new members to keep pace with these societal trends. The "Church Concert to go" aims to respond to the various life circumstances of churchgoers through short pieces drawn from the classical repertoire – ranging from great joy to deep sorrow. These "mini concerts," detached from a traditional performance, are meant to showcase the choir's achievements, present their repertoire, and open up new avenues for development by introducing new songs.In this way, the Church experiences a reinterpretation of its own motto: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Mt 11:28)The "Church Concert to go" can be heard in the parish church of Unterach daily at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Those who would like to take the concert home with them can pick up a postcard with a QR code in the church foyer. The card provides information about the project and the songs performed, and can also be sent as a picture postcard.The project was brought to life through LEADER funding. show more
