Oliver Jaeger creates musical portraits in the Capella Hospitalis

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Oliver Jaeger invites you to his program »Portraits« at the Bielefeld Capella Hospitalis. Under the guiding motif of sound and poetry, the musician connects guitar and symphonetta to an extraordinary concert journey through characters, places, and musical worlds.

Musical character images between classical and world music

Oliver Jaeger portrays the Chopin of Brazil, a jester, Carmen from Bizet's opera, the Little Prince, and the city of Lisbon. Each of these characters receives its own timbre: sometimes dance-like and passionate, sometimes poetic, playful, or with great narrative calm.

Guitar and Symphonetta in dialogue

At the center of the solo program are Jaeger’s original compositions for guitar as well as arrangements from classical music and world music. His sound language is inspired by Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Flamenco, Fado, Tango, and other Mediterranean and South American influences merge into a colorful stage performance.

What makes the evening special is the Symphonetta, an extraordinary instrument that Oliver Jaeger employs alongside the guitar. The combination creates a distinctive orchestration in a chamber music format: delicate string sounds meet characterful, rarely heard timbres.

An atmospheric concert experience

The Capella Hospitalis provides the perfect setting for this intimate concert. In the unique acoustics of the sacred space, the musical details can unfold immediately. Fingerpicking, melodic lines, and rhythmic accents stand out clearly and allow the individual portraits to emerge like small sound pictures before the inner eye.

Oliver Jaeger has been active for many years in various crossover projects and has been presenting his own solo programs since 2011. His musical work combines classical guitar technique with flamenco experience and openness to world music. Press descriptions highlight his dexterity, sensitive playing, and ability to tell stories without words.

Free admission, donations welcome

Attendance at »Portraits« is free. Donations are welcome and support the concert evening at the Capella Hospitalis. The start is at 6:00 PM.
