Advent Concert Kloster Windberg

A Contemplative Start to Advent

The Advent Concert at Kloster Windberg is a fixed date in church music for the first Sunday of Advent. The venue is the Premonstratensian Abbey of Windberg in the municipality of Windberg, district of Straubing-Bogen, state of Bavaria – a spiritual center in the Bavarian Forest.

Wolfgang Zerer at the Windberg Organ

Under the title "Music for the Advent Season", the internationally renowned organist Prof. Wolfgang Zerer from Hamburg will play the Windberg organ. Zerer is one of Germany's outstanding organ performers and will shape the concert with works that set the mood for the Advent season.

Monastery Church as a Sound Space

The Romanesque monastery church of Windberg Abbey provides a worthy setting for the concert. The special acoustics of the historic church space and the festive atmosphere of Advent make the evening a contemplative experience.

Part of a Rich Concert Year

The Advent concert is part of the Abbey's extensive church music program, which also includes Christmas, Passion, and organ concerts throughout the year. Church music in Windberg upholds a long tradition.

Windberg in the Bavarian Forest

Windberg Abbey is not only a spiritual but also a cultural center of the region. A concert visit can be well combined with a visit to the monastery and the landscape of the Bavarian Forest.
