A half hour full of sound poetry in the Peter and Paul Church
With the series Music for the Open Church, on September 11, 2026, a unique calm and concentration returns to Heepen, which only true church music can create. Ulrich Maßner opens the afternoon at the Steinmann organ with English and French organ music from the early 20th century, emphasizing sound colors between lyrical intimacy and spiritual tension.
An kickoff with fine contours
The concert begins at 16:30 in the Peter and Paul Church Heepen (ev.) and condenses into a compact live experience that focuses not on volume but on atmosphere. The selection of works ranges from Bach to Henri Mulet and Sigfrid Karg-Elert to Joseph Rheinberger, tracing a line from Baroque clarity to romantic and impressionistic sound language.
Organ sound between architecture and emotion
Especially in the acoustics of a historic church, the organ unfolds its full brilliance. The sound orchestration, precise registration, and interplay of tension and resolution make this half hour a concentrated concert experience. Those who listen closely experience musical geometry that unfolds not coolly, but touching.
Music for the Open Church as a special series
After the summer break, the regular short concert series starts again with a program that intentionally invites pause. The open church creates space for a calm audience atmosphere, for resonance, breath, and the slow fading of an intense afternoon. Thus, a short appointment becomes an impressive live moment experience in the middle of Bielefeld-Heepen.
Conclusion: A concert for listeners with a fine ear
Those who love organ music or wish to experience the special live atmosphere of a church will find here a highly concentrated musical moment with depth and character. Ulrich Maßner combines spiritual aura with historical sound culture and makes the Peter and Paul Church a resonance space for great emotions for 30 minutes. This concert is worth experiencing live.
