An evening of sound, resonance, and silence: ARTE Sonores at St. Mary's Church
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, ARTE Sonores will transform St. Mary's Church in Göttingen into a resonance space for overtone singing and overtone-rich instruments. The ensemble, which has been dedicated to the effect of subtle sound layers since its founding in September 2022, is particularly suited for concerts in churches. Because it is exactly there that the long reverberations, for which this music lives, unfold. ([artesonores.de](https://www.artesonores.de/))
Sound architecture for a special acoustics
ARTE Sonores works not against the space, but with it. The group states that it adapts to each location anew and develops a unique sound event at each performance. In a church like St. Mary's, floating overtone surfaces, meditative tensions, and moments arise where the space itself becomes a participant. This promises an intense concert experience with subtle dynamics and a lot of atmosphere. ([artesonores.de](https://www.artesonores.de/))
Four voices, many colors
The ensemble consists of four overtone-enthusiastic musicians: Sigrid Leger, Gisela Tjarks, Markus Ohlef, and Thomas Reimann. They combine vocal and instrumental music, employ instruments from different cultures, and thus create a warm, concentrated sound that fluctuates between gentle, meditative, and powerful. It is precisely this orchestration of subtle overtones that gives the evening its appeal. ([artesonores.de](https://www.artesonores.de/))
St. Mary's Church as a stage for fine vibrations
St. Mary's Church at Neustadt 21 in Göttingen is more than just a venue for this evening: it is part of the composition. The central location in the city center and the historic church architecture create a framework in which overtones unfold particularly vividly. According to kulturis, the concert is scheduled to last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. ([kulturis.online](https://www.kulturis.online/de/veranstaltungen/obertonkonzert))
What visitors can expect
Those who experience this overtone concert live will not receive a loud show, but a focused listening experience with reverberation, depth, and fine tension drama. The mixture of spiritual calm, sonic precision, and the special church acoustics makes the evening a rare live moment. An appointment for all who wish to not only hear music but also feel it in space. ([artesonores.de](https://www.artesonores.de/))
