Jazz-Choral-Music with Depth: The KtK-Trio Brings Bielefeld to Listen
The 19th Music Summer in the Kreuzkirche Sennestadt will feature a particularly sensitive evening on August 16, 2026: The KtK-Trio with Andreas Kaling, Bertold Becker, and Matthias Kosmahl combines jazz choral music with the quiet power of old melodies. In the space of the Protestant Kreuzkirche, a concert experience arises that does not rely on volume but on tension, sound colors, and inner movement.
A Trio with History and Signature
The name KtK-Trio is derived from the worship series Kirche trifft Kino in the Bielefeld Süsterkirche, where the three musicians have been collaborating for years. Andreas Kaling on saxophones, Bertold Becker on piano, and Matthias Kosmahl on double bass create a sound that organically intertwines sacred tradition and improvisational freedom. Moreover, during the Corona times, they produced their own CD for a book project – a hint at the artistic seriousness of this ensemble.
Between Chants, Improvisation, and Fine Orchestration
The trademark of the trio is jazz choral music. Old religious chants receive new contours through the sensitive orchestration of the three musicians: soft, transparent, sometimes almost floating, and then again with quiet rhythmic tension. This very mix makes the evening so appealing for an audience that appreciates intimate live atmosphere, sonic precision, and musical depth.
Kreuzkirche Sennestadt as an Acoustic Resonance Space
The Kreuzkirche Sennestadt provides the perfect setting for this concert. The church space supports the acoustics with natural reverberation, allowing the saxophone, piano, and double bass to merge particularly clearly. For visitors, this creates a calm, concentrated audience atmosphere that makes every motif and dynamic nuance audible. According to the event information, the number of seats is limited.
Musical Intensity Instead of Stunt
Those who experience the KtK-Trio do not get a standard jazz program but an evening with a personal touch and spiritual depth. The music thrives on the synchronization of the three voices, the interplay between melody and free movement, small arcs of tension, and quiet moments. It is precisely this restraint that generates the great impact: a concert that resonates instead of just entertaining.
Conclusion: A Special Summer Evening for Open Ears
The KtK-Trio in the Kreuzkirche Sennestadt promises a touching concert evening between jazz, chants, and fine chamber music presence. Anyone who loves music with atmosphere, depth, and authentic live energy should not miss this date and experience the 19th Music Summer in Bielefeld live.
