Sound over the rooftops of Erfurt: The Carillon Concert at Bartholomew's Tower
On August 29, 2026, the Erfurt Anger will transform into an open sound stage: The three Erfurt Carillonneurs Tamara Bourvé, Iuliia Osintseva, and Ulrich Seidel will perform a free live concert at Bartholomew's Tower starting at 4:00 PM. A unique concert experience unfolds on the 60 bells of this historical instrument, merging city history, live atmosphere, and musical precision.
An instrument that fills the urban space
The carillon in Bartholomew's Tower is among the distinctive sound symbols of Erfurt. Its bright, resonant tone extends far beyond the Anger, showcasing the public space itself as a resonator. This is precisely what makes this format so appealing: not a closed hall, but a concert outdoors, where passersby, music lovers, and curious listeners become part of the same audience atmosphere.
Three Carillonneurs, one collective sound
When several Carillonneurs work on a program together, a special form of synchronization emerges. The striking, dynamics, and choice of registers must be precisely aligned, turning bell music into a cohesive musical narrative. For the audience, this means a blend of craftsmanship concentration and immediate emotionality - a live experience that impresses both technically and atmospherically.
Historical backdrop at Anger 52
Bartholomew's Tower at Anger 52 is an Erfurt landmark with centuries of history. Today it continues to thrive not just as a monument, but as a musical venue. Those who listen here experience city history in a ringing mode: the medieval backdrop, open surroundings, and the wide sound of the bells connect to create a rare interplay of culture, place, and moment.
What visitors can expect on August 29
The evening is aimed at all who love special open-air concerts and appreciate classical sound culture in an urban setting. The concert is free of charge, making it ideal for a spontaneous visit to the old town. Those who arrive early will secure a good spot, experience the unique acoustics at the tower, and feel the unmistakable thrill of a live concert that makes Erfurt resonate.
Conclusion: The Carillon Concert with the Erfurt Carillonneurs promises a musically exceptional summer afternoon full of atmosphere, history, and sound colors. Anyone wanting to experience live music in a different way should not miss this event at Bartholomew's Tower.
