an(ge)dacht – Music and Word in Stadtkirche St. Marien

Music for Market Time

The series "an(ge)dacht – Music and Word" is one of the oldest church music series at Stadtkirche St. Marien Celle. It takes place every Saturday at 12:00 PM – at a time when the city center is bustling with the market and people are looking for a moment of peace. With its compact format of around 30 minutes, it is the ideal "moment of pause" between the weekly market and lunch break.

Musical Diversity

The program alternates between:

• Chamber music in various ensembles (string quartet, wind ensembles, piano trios)
• Vocal music with solo voices and ensembles
• Solo performances on organ, piano, or harpsichord
• Choral concerts in a condensed format
• Works from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern periods

Concept and Atmosphere

The concerts start punctually at 12 PM and end around 12:30 PM. Admission is free; a collection at the exit contributes to the financing of the series. The unique ambiance of the Stadtkirche St. Marien, with its excellent acoustics and tranquil atmosphere, makes every performance a special experience.

Season June to September

The series runs every year from June to September – thus covering the peak tourist season. This makes it a popular offering for both domestic and international guests.
