A concert evening that connects music and humanity
On October 24, 2026, the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra invites you to a special benefit concert at the St. Johannis Church Göttingen. All proceeds will benefit the foundation for the Palliative Care Center of the University Medical Center Göttingen and support the care of seriously ill patients.
Symphonic color in a historic atmosphere
The St. Johannis Church in the heart of Göttingen's old town provides an impressive acoustic setting for an evening of great orchestral music, focused audience atmosphere, and moving texts. Between Gothic sandstone and the distinctive church towers unfolds a concert experience that combines musical precision with an important social cause.
Grieg's Piano Concerto with Séverine Kim
The program features Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor. Pianist Séverine Kim takes on the solo part and approaches the romantic orchestration with virtuosic creativity, lyrical sensitivity, and clear rhythmic synchronization. Between powerful tutti and finely nuanced piano passages, a sound full of Nordic vastness and emotional tension emerges.
Mozart's Jupiter Symphony with texts from his time
In the second part of the concert, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C Major K. 551, the Jupiter Symphony, will be performed. The classical architecture of the work combines transparency, contrapuntal sophistication, and festive energy. The performance will be complemented by texts from the composer's time, read by Florian Eppinger from the German Theater Göttingen.
Music for the work of the Palliative Care Center
The Göttingen Symphony Orchestra supports the foundation for the Palliative Care Center at the University Medical Center Göttingen with this benefit concert. An interdisciplinary team accompanies people with advanced and life-limiting illnesses. Attending the concert thus combines an intense live atmosphere with concrete support for an important medical and human task.
Conclusion: An evening with lasting resonance
The audience can expect a varied classical concert featuring Grieg's Piano Concerto, Mozart's Jupiter Symphony, selected texts, and the unique acoustics of the St. Johannis Church. Those who want to experience great orchestral works live while also supporting palliative care in Göttingen will find a concert evening with musical depth and lasting impact.
