Baroque Voices, Organ Sounds, and a Place Full of History

On October 9, 2026, the Ambassador Reading 2 at the Regensburg Trinity Church combines literature and music for a special cultural experience. Dr. Gerd Burger will present literature from the Baroque period and from Regensburg on the organ balcony, accompanied by organ music from KMD Roman Emilius.

Literature Between History and Present

The reading opens a linguistic access to an epoch in which literature, religion, diplomacy, and societal representation were closely intertwined. The selected texts lead into the baroque literary art and make historical perspectives immediately tangible. The literary format combines grounded contextualization with the sensory power of spoken word.

Music on the Organ Balcony

The organ music from KMD Roman Emilius adds an acoustic dimension to the reading. An intimate reading atmosphere develops in the Trinity Church, where voice, space, and music correspond with each other. The interplay of language and organ gives the evening a concentrated, festive effect.

An Evening for the Ambassador Cemetery

The event is intended as a literary-musical homage to the baroque ambassador cemetery. More than 100 Protestant ambassadors from the Regensburg Diet and their families from the period of 1633 to 1806 rest there. The meter-high, artistically designed grave monuments remind us of the political and cultural significance of European diplomacy in Regensburg.

The admission fee supports the general renovation of the ambassador cemetery. Thus, the reading combines literary quality with civic engagement and the preservation of an important historical site.

Conclusion: Literature as a Living Memory

Visitors can expect a concentrated author encounter with baroque literature, impressive organ music, and an extraordinary event location in the historical old town of Regensburg. Those who want to experience language as a cultural memory and discover literature in its historical depth will encounter an evening between reading, music, and monument preservation.
