An Evening between the Middle Ages, Sound Magic, and Hunger for Life

With Ad mortem Festinamus, the Landshuter Hofkapelle will bring a program to the stage on June 28, 2026, in the Jesuit church that connects the sound world of the late Middle Ages with spiritual depth and worldly dance joy. The concert is part of the Landshuter Hofmusiktage 2026 and immerses the audience in an era where music was not only art but also an expression of faith, joy, and zest for life.

Historical Music with Electrifying Tension

The title refers to the closing song of the Llibre Vermell around 1399 and opens the view to a repertoire that touches on existential questions as well as physical movement. Courtly and spiritual music meet here with energetic instrumental dances. From this contrast, the concert experience draws its fascination: fine lines, clear articulation, rhythmic precision, and that special live atmosphere that makes historical performance practice immediately tangible.

Authentic Sound in the Jesuit Church

The Jesuit church in Landshut provides an impressive setting for this program. The sacred space enhances the transparency of the voices and instruments, while the historical orchestration of the Landshuter Hofkapelle brings the music of the 14th and 15th centuries to life with great stylistic care. Those who love Early Music will not experience a museum-like distance here, but a lively, breathing sound picture with finely tuned dynamics and intense audience atmosphere.
