"Come Here": Sacred Romanticism fills the University Church of St. Nikolai
On Reformation Day, October 31, 2026, Ensemble ProCant invites you to a special choral concert at the University Church of St. Nikolai in Göttingen. Together with a project orchestra from Göttingen and the surrounding area, sacred music of the German Romantic era will resonate under the direction of Stephan Diedrich.
Between Psalm Call and Liturgical Response
The program connects two impressive works: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Psalm 95 "Come, let us worship" and Robert Schumann's "Missa sacra" op. 147. Mendelssohn's Psalm presents faith as an urgent call, while Schumann's setting of the Mass provides a solemn, Catholic-inflected response. This creates an ecumenical musical arc between Protestant psalm settings and Catholic liturgy.
Choral Sound with Orchestral Depth
The combination of a large choir, project orchestra, and solo voices promises a multifaceted concert experience. Festive orchestration, warm string colors, and the precise sound of the choir meet the expressive musical language of Romanticism. The conducting of Stephan Diedrich guides the voices and instruments to a shared musical architecture.
Solo Voices and Moving Sound Spaces
Featured performers are Luzia Ernst and Lisa Rothländer in soprano and Alexander Tremmel as tenor. Their solo lines emerge from the choral sound and lend individual contours to the sacred texts. In the acoustics of the University Church of St. Nikolai, the music can unfold between intimate prayer and festive sound design.
A Concert on a Symbolic Date
The performance on Reformation Day adds a special thematic layer to the concert. The program bridges different confessional traditions and makes audible the versatility of sacred music in the 19th century. ProCant continues its work as a Göttingen project choir with a focus on sacred choral music.
Conclusion: Experience Romantic Choral Music Live
"Come Here" promises an evening with powerful choral sound, colorful orchestral accompaniment, and sacred music by Mendelssohn and Schumann. Admission is free; donations to support the ensemble and future projects are welcome. Those wishing to experience the special live atmosphere of sacred Romanticism will find the perfect sound space in the University Church of St. Nikolai.
