Anniversary Concert with Depth of Sound and Sacred Radiance in Landshut

The Isura Madrigal Choir is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special concert at the Stiftsbasilika St. Martin. On April 25, 2026, sensitive a cappella culture will meet the majestic acoustics of one of Bavaria's most iconic sacred spaces. The program combines the mass for two four-part choirs by Frank Martin with organ works by Louis Vierne, performed by staff organist Jeni Böhm. The conductor is Johannes Buxbaum.

A Choir with Profile, History, and a Clear Sound Image

Since its founding in 1986, the Isura Madrigal Choir from Geretsried has evolved from a small a cappella ensemble into a versatile sound body. About 45 singers shape the characteristic ensemble sound, which, according to its own description, focuses on captivating choral music. Under Johannes Buxbaum, who has artistically led the choir since 2010, the ensemble has received several awards and achieved second place at the 10th Bavarian Choir Competition in 2017.

Frank Martin and Louis Vierne as a Musical Tension Field

The heart of the evening beats in the connection of choral music and organ. Frank Martin's mass for two four-part choirs demands precise voice leading, transparent orchestration of the voices, and utmost rhythmic synchronization. The works of Louis Vierne add a colorful counterpoint and provide additional depth to the concert. This creates a concert experience that makes sacred music appear immediate and alive rather than museum-like.

Stiftsbasilika St. Martin as an Impressive Resonance Space

The Stiftsbasilika St. Martin in the Old Town of Landshut is one of the most significant sacred buildings in Southern Germany and offers ideal conditions for choral sound and organ with its wide spatial effect. In such architecture, an a cappella program unfolds its full emotional power: the reverberation carries every phrase, the choir space breathes along, and the live atmosphere gains intensity. For visitors, a concert experience is created that closely connects music, space, and devotion.

Anniversary with Clear Audience Value

For the 40th birthday of the ensemble, this evening brings not only musical substance but also a special historical perspective to the stage. The audience will experience a challenging anniversary concert with spiritual depth, virtuoso choral culture, and finely tuned organ literature. Those who appreciate choral music at a high level will find here an evening with strong resonance and lasting impact.

The concert promises a concentrated, moving evening between sacred dignity and musical brilliance. Those who want to experience the Isura Madrigal Choir live should mark this date at the Stiftsbasilika St. Martin and enjoy the anniversary concert on-site.
