“Healing” – Sacred Piano Concerto with Heloïze Magdalena Palmer, Halle

February 17 | 17 o'clock

Auditorium of the seminary, Wittenberg Castle

Free entry | Collection at the exit

Admission is via the castle/castle church visitor center from 4:30 p.m

On Saturday February 17th at 5 p.m., the pianist Heloïze Magdalena Palmer from Halle will present a spiritual piano concert on the theme of “Healing”. The central reference comes from the biblical story from Matthew 9, the healing of the woman with blood. This is the basis for considerations about what 'leprosy' is - even today and in our society - and how GOD saves and heals us from it; The music ranges from largely romantic piano literature, to biblical scenes set to music (Bethesda), to Jewish prayer songs. Works by J. Haydn, F. Chopin, R. Schumann, E. Grieg, J. Brahms, M. Brod, A. Hajdu and others will be heard.

The piano concert marks the start of a new series “SchlossMusik” – sound and space. This series aims to make the many special rooms and corners of the Wittenberg Castle and the Castle Church sound with music and offer its guests a special experience. The next concert in the series will take place in the exhibition area of the visitor center with the Schlosskirche handbell ensemble on March 10th at 4 p.m.
