A rare passion moment in the Pauluskirche Ulm

On Friday, April 3, 2026, the Pauluskirche Ulm will be the center of a special concert experience: With Carl Loewe's Passion Oratorio, the Motettenchor of the Münsterkantorei Ulm traditionally opens the church music main season. The program features the melodious oratorio The Atonement of the New Covenant, which balances between devotion, choral passages, and soloist tension in its dramatic structure.

Between devotion and dramatic force

Carl Loewe is among the great ballad composers of the 19th century. According to existing sources, he wrote around 400 ballads and 17 oratorios. This storytelling experience is evident in this work: The music leads through the passion events in striking arcs, while never being merely solemn, instead developing a compelling inner movement. For the audience, a live atmosphere arises where concentration and emotion are closely intertwined.

A sound image with choral strength and richness of color

Especially appealing is the transition between four to six-part choral passages, male choral pieces, female choral pieces, and solo episodes. This orchestration of voices creates a broad sound architecture that is likely to fully unfold its effect in the Pauluskirche Ulm. With Verena Gropper, Kathrin Schweizer, Johannes Kaleschke, Matthias Horn, and Daniel Blumenschein, along with the Karlsruhe Baroque Orchestra, an ensemble will be on stage that gives the work profile, transparency, and musical depth. The direction is taken by Münsterkantor Friedemann Johannes Wieland.

The space as a resonating body

The Pauluskirche Ulm at Frauenstraße 110 combines historical aura with immediate proximity to the action. The church is easily accessible in Ulm's city center; according to church information, parking spaces are provided in the courtyard next to the Pauluskirche, but only during church events. The location is also well connected via public transport: From the main train station, bus line 7 leads to the Keplerstraße stop, or tram line 1 leads to the Justizgebäude stop within a short walking distance.

A concert at the hour of death with a special profile

The program is not only historically interesting but also dramatically charged. The text by Wilhelm Telschow is based on the Gospels, with the world premiere taking place in 1855 in Stettin. This connection of spiritual concentration, romantic tonality, and precise choral work makes the event a concert highlight for fans of oratorios, church music, and classical vocal music.

Conclusion: Those who want to experience passion music with depth, expression, and high-quality performance culture should mark this afternoon in their calendars. In the Pauluskirche Ulm, the audience can expect an intense, musically rich, and atmospherically dense live experience that resonates long after.
