Berwald's Great Septet: Romantic Sound Colors at Lunchtime
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Cathedral Parish Church of Niedermünster in Regensburg transforms into a special concert venue for finely drawn chamber music. The lunchtime music features Franz Berwald's Septet in B-flat major from 1828 – a work that is among the most impressive examples of large ensemble chamber music from the Romantic era.
Seven Instruments, a Multifaceted Sound Space
The ensemble Musica Dimenticata brings Berwald's music to life with clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. In this unusual instrumentation, warm string colors meet striking wind lines and finely balanced chamber music dialogues. Each part receives its own character, while the seven instruments combine to create a vibrant overall sound.
Romantic Chamber Music with Nordic Profile
Franz Berwald, the great Stockholm composer of the Romantic period, oriented his septet towards models such as Ludwig van Beethoven, while simultaneously developing an independent musical language. Changing sound groups, dance-like impulses, and contrasting orchestration give the work a sparkling dynamism. In the special acoustics of Niedermünster, the score unfolds its transparent structure and tonal depth.

A Half-Hour Concert Experience in the Heart of Regensburg
The lunchtime music starts at 12:05 PM and lasts about 30 minutes.
