When language sounds: A summer evening between poetry and handpan

The Ulm Lyrik Summer brings with Sounds, Beats, Texts on July 17, 2026, a special reading concert to the Petruskirche Neu-Ulm. Elvira Lauscher and Christine Langer read poetry, Florian Baur opens a sound space with the handpan, where words, rhythm, and atmosphere come together directly. The evening is announced as a premiere and is marked by a literary experience that makes poetry not only recitable but audible. ([ulmer-lyriksommer.de](https://ulmer-lyriksommer.de/))

Poetry in dialogue with sound

The event combines reading and music into a form that is increasingly appreciated in the literary scene: not as mere accompaniment, but as a fine extension of verbal art. The poetic power of the texts meets the vibrations of the handpan, creating an intimate reading atmosphere that focuses on concentration, resonance, and sensual perception.

Elvira Lauscher and Christine Langer

Elvira Lauscher works as a writer, journalist, and aphorist; her focus lies on short stories, fairy tales, and poetry. Christine Langer, born in Ulm in 1966, is an award-winning poet and editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Konzepte. Both stand for linguistic precision, literary quality, and a contemporary poetry that intertwines images, sounds, and thought movements.

A place with fitting resonance

The Petruskirche at Petrusplatz 8 in Neu-Ulm offers a fitting framework for this reading concert: centrally located, culturally anchored, and connected to route planners, schedules, and parking garages. The environment signals accessibility and proximity to the city center; at the same time, the church space carries that quiet dignity that supports lyrical voices and allows music to resonate.
