Hachenburg Culture Time — Night of the Choirs
Eighth Hachenburg Night of the Choirs on the Alter Markt — a summer evening with diverse choral music under the open sky
About Night of the Choirs Hachenburg
The Night of the Choirs is one of the most atmospheric formats of the Hachenburg Culture Time. On a summer evening, several choirs gather on the baroque Alter Markt to present their repertoire to the audience. The acoustic diversity — from classical to pop and gospel to a cappella arrangements — creates an experience that makes the power of the human voice tangible in a special way.
In 2026, the eighth edition will take place on Saturday, August 1st. Like all Culture Time events, the Night of the Choirs is open air and offers a special atmosphere against the historical backdrop of the "Löwenstadt" (Lion City).

A Standalone Format of the Culture Time
While the Culture Time concerts on Thursdays focus on rock, pop, blues, and cover music, the Night of the Choirs is dedicated to a completely different musical world: vocal music in its diversity. It thus complements the program with a format that emphasizes musical depth and a sense of community.
Diversity of Choral Music
The participating choirs usually come from the region and cover a broad spectrum: church choirs with classical repertoire, gospel choirs, pop and rock choirs, a cappella ensembles, and mixed singing groups. Each choir gets its own stage time, allowing the audience to experience a true showcase of local and regional choral music.
The Alter Markt as an Acoustic Space
The historic market square of Hachenburg, with its baroque townhouses, offers an extraordinary acoustic environment for choral music. The squares and alleys around the market reflect the voices in a special way, and the audience can move freely, sit, or stand according to their personal preference.
A Summer Evening with Atmosphere
The Night of the Choirs is more than a concert evening — it is a meeting point, a summer night in the "Löwenstadt" (Lion City) charged with the sound of many voices. Those who love choral music or simply want to spend a special summer evening in Hachenburg will find an ideal opportunity here. The surrounding outdoor gastronomy caters to the audience during the event.
Night of the Choirs Hachenburg — edition 2026
