Between the Middle Ages and Modernity: Trombone & Organ in the Zionskirche

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Zionskirche Bethel will transform into a resonant space for an extraordinary concert blending old music and contemporary sound language. Shawn Grocott on trombone and Christof Pülsch on organ connect historical sound worlds with modern sound dramaturgy.

Brilliant Brass Sound Meets Monumental Organ

The trombone brings warmth, directness, and powerful overtone colors into the church space. Its broad, sustaining sound meets the multifaceted orchestration of the Zions organ. In the acoustic expansiveness of the church, a concert experience arises that thrives on clear lines, long echoes, and intense dynamic contrasts.

Music from Guillaume de Machaut to Violeta Dinescu

The program spans several centuries of music history. Works by Guillaume de Machaut and Guillaume Dufay stand alongside compositions by Petr Eben, Alfred Schnittke, and Violeta Dinescu. This unusual connection makes audible how spiritual sound concepts, rhythmic energy, and modern tone colors encounter one another across epochs.

Shawn Grocott and Christof Pülsch in Interaction

Shawn Grocott shapes the trombone part with precise articulation and versatile timbre. Christof Pülsch conducts the organ and forms the sonic space with registration, manual changes, and dynamic synchronization. The ensemble promises a stage performance where breath, resonance, and architectural acoustics play together directly.

Live Atmosphere in the Zionskirche Bethel

The Zionskirche regularly hosts Sunday concerts at 5 PM. A special focus is on contemporary music, which takes place here in a sacred yet open concert context. The audience experiences the music not just as a sequence of pieces but as a spatial sound movement between quiet color changes and powerful tutti moments.
