Königslutter Cathedral Concerts — Autumn Season

A Concert Tradition Since 1980

The Königslutter Cathedral Concerts have been held annually since 1980, making them one of the oldest continuously programmed concert series in Lower Saxony. The initiative came from music lovers in Königslutter who wanted to utilize the unique acoustics of the Imperial Cathedral for a sophisticated concert program.

Imperial Cathedral as a Concert Hall

The Romanesque Imperial Cathedral of Lothair III offers acoustics that no modern hall can replicate. The high stone walls, the vault, and the sparse furnishings create a warm, resonant sound that particularly enhances voices and acoustic instruments.

Anna Depenbusch — September 5, 2026, 7:30 PM

Hamburg-based singer and pianist Anna Depenbusch is one of the most distinctive voices in German chanson. Her songs combine literary texts with finely crafted melodies and ironically tender wit. In the Imperial Cathedral, she will present a program of her hits and new pieces.

Nora Thiele — Electro Meets Classic, September 12, 2026, 7:30 PM

Percussionist Nora Thiele brings a crossover program to the cathedral with 'Electro Meets Classic,' blending early music and electronic sounds. Frame drum, hang drum, electronics, and baroque influences create a meditative, pulsating soundscape.

Dutch-South African recorder virtuoso Stefan Temmingh and Austrian harpist Margret Koell present a baroque chamber music program featuring works by Telemann, Handel, Vivaldi, and lesser-known masters. 'Sound Stories' combines music with narrative moments.
