Stefan Donner performs Johann Sebastian Bach in the crypt of St. Peter’s Church

When the city grows quiet, an extraordinary concert experience begins, immersing you in Bach’s fascinating sound world in a unique atmosphere.

The historic crypt proves to be an almost ideal venue for Bach’s music. Its intimate acoustics and the exceptional tranquillity of the space create an environment in which every nuance, every note, and every harmonic turn can be experienced directly. Here, the intellectual depth and emotional power of Bach’s works unfold with particular intensity.

Stefan Donner is one of the most distinguished Bach interpreters of his generation. With technical brilliance, stylistic sensitivity, and a profound understanding of the architecture of this music, he brings the works to life – transparent, expressive, and full of energy.

The crypt maintains a pleasant temperature throughout the year.
