Fireworks at Ulm Minster: A festive concert evening full of sound and space
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Ulm trombone choir transforms the Ulm Minster into an impressive stage for the annual concert Fireworks. Between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM, the audience can expect a musical evening with a grand church space, celebratory acoustics, and a program that will be directed by Lorenzo Ghirlanda, featuring Friedemann Johannes Wieland on the organ.
A concert with special radiance
Fireworks represents a lively event experience that combines brass sound and organ artistry in one of the most distinctive churches in southern Germany. The Ulm trombone choir has invited audiences to concerts and services for many years, combining musical quality with lived tradition. This mixture also shapes the audience's mood during an evening at the Ulm Minster: concentrated, festive, and close to the music.
The Ulm Minster as an impressive sound space
The Ulm Minster at Münsterplatz 1 in 89073 Ulm is much more than just a historical site. The interior creates the special atmosphere that church concerts are valued for: clear contours, plenty of space for resonance, and an ambiance that allows the sound to resonate magnificently. Those attending the concert experience not only music but also the impressive architecture of the minster city in a rare intensity.
Musical tradition meets precise organization
The Ulm trombone choir looks back on a long history. According to the choir's information, the story began in 1899 with the idea of founding a trombone choir in Ulm; the first group already performed publicly in 1900. Today, the choir is part of the CVJM Ulm and regularly organizes concerts and services in the region. Since 2023, the musical direction has been in the hands of Lorenzo Ghirlanda, who, according to the choir profile, is also widely networked academically and artistically.
Free entry, donations welcome
Entry to Fireworks is free. At the same time, donations for the work of the Ulm trombone choir are welcomed. This makes the evening accessible and opens the concert for everyone who wants to experience high-quality church music in a special setting. Especially for visitors from Ulm and Neu-Ulm, this creates an attractive opportunity for a cultural evening with a strong regional connection.
