An autumn evening that lets Bielefeld shine in warm orchestral light
The Autumn Concert 2026 takes place on September 20, 2026, at the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle featuring a program that combines classical music, richness of color, and clever contrasts. On the podium are Dora Pejačević with her Overture in D minor, Richard Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, and other works that shape the evening in the tension between symphonic weight and song-like intimacy. According to the event entry, the evening is designed to last approximately two hours including an intermission, and admission is free. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1800784))
An opening with dramatic tension
Even the Overture in D minor sets the tone for a concert experience with a clear architectural line. Pejačević unfolds orchestral colors with that mix of elegance and inner fervor that is particularly impressive live. In the acoustics of the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle, such layering unfolds with precision and depth. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1800784))
Wagner in focus: Song, longing, great arcs
With the Wesendonck Lieder, the evening moves into a different emotional sphere. Here, orchestration, breath, and vocal line are central, while the musical tension grows slowly and controlled. Especially in a traditionally rich concert hall like the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle, a particularly dense live atmosphere emerges from this. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1800784))
A program full of colors and contrasts
After the intermission, the program broadens its perspective with works by Adams, Fucik, Gershwin, Piazzolla, Revueltas, Saint-Saens, Webber, and Tchaikovsky. This mix promises stylistic versatility, rhythmic energy, and great melodies - an evening that combines symphonic tradition with popularity, joy of performance, and clever dramaturgy.
