Musical Discoveries in the Catholic Church of St. Anna
On August 9, 2026, the Quartett Smaragd invites you to an evening of chamber music in Schwerin that combines historical tonal colors with vibrant joy of playing. Under the title Discoveries, the program leads into the musical world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and highlights works by Franz Danzi, Joseph Schmitt, and Josef Myslivecek. The evening is complemented by a work by Joseph Haydn that clearly makes the comparison with one of the great classics.
Fine Sound Architecture Instead of Routine
The ensemble is known for its carefully curated programming and regularly brings forgotten pieces back to the stage from the archives. This is precisely where the special tension of this concert lies: The instrumentation with flute, violin, viola, and cello opens up a transparent, chamber music sound that makes every nuance audible. Anyone who pays attention to small orchestrations, subtle phrasing, and lively synchronization will experience a concert with finely balanced dialogue.
An Ensemble with International Experience
Behind the name Quartett Smaragd are Gesa Wulfhorst, Susan Doering, Dieter Wulfhorst, and Reinhard Wulfhorst. According to the Cultural Portal of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, they have been performing together in Mecklenburg since 2008 and regularly concert in the region. The musicians bring international experience from the USA, Germany, and other countries; the preview also mentions that the ensemble has left a completely enthusiastic audience in memory. This gives the evening a special authority in the field of historically informed chamber music.
St. Anna as an Atmospheric Concert Venue
The Catholic Church of St. Anna is one of the prominent cultural locations in Schwerin. It is centrally located on Klosterstraße and is also historically significant as the first Catholic church building after the Reformation in Mecklenburg. For chamber music, the space provides an intimate live atmosphere where even quiet dynamic gradations and the acoustics of the hall can unfold their effect. The combination of sacred architecture and concentrated sound makes the visit a special concert experience.
Free Admission, Donations Welcome
According to the event information, admission is free; donations are requested at the exit. This makes the concert accessible to a wide audience eager for discoveries, musical subtleties, and an evening with a special atmosphere. Especially in the combination of rarely performed repertoire and familiar classics, a charm emerges that appeals to both connoisseurs and curious first-time visitors.
Conclusion: Discoveries is a concert for all who love chamber music with character. The Quartett Smaragd promises an evening full of stylistic elegance, historical surprises, and warm ensemble sound. Anyone wanting to experience a musically astute and atmospherically rich summer evening in Schwerin should not miss this date live.
