Baroque Introspection in the Crypt of the Kreuzkirche

On September 7, 2026, the crypt of the Kreuzkirche Bonn transforms into a space of concentrated sound poetry. In the series on the 7th at 7, the audience encounters a program called »Les Délices de la Solitude« that experiences silence not as emptiness, but as a vibrating resonant space. The concert series has been a fixed part of Bonn's cultural life for over 25 years and stands for surprise, musical diversity, and a special theatrical atmosphere of listening.

An Evening Between Concentration and Sound Pleasure

The musical idea behind the series connects historical instrumental music with immediate proximity to the audience. Stefan Horz shapes the format as the conceptual head and moderator, making each concert more than just a performance: a lively stage experience arises, where musicality, explanation, and audience reaction intertwine. The crypt as a performance venue enhances this intimacy and creates an acoustics that makes fine nuances audible. ([kreuzkirche-bonn.de](https://www.kreuzkirche-bonn.de/musik/am-7-um-7))

Michel Corrette and the Art of Quiet Seduction

The title refers to Michel Corrette, whose Les délices de la solitude was published around 1738/39 and belongs to the early French cello sonatas. The collection combines French and Italian elements, virtuosity, and melodic elegance. This is precisely where its charm lies: The music unfolds its effect not through grand pathos, but through finely drawn lines, stylistic refinement, and a sensitive dramaturgy of expression. Experts commend the work as an important contribution to the Baroque literature for cello and continuo.

The Crypt as a Resonant Space

The crypt of the Kreuzkirche is an unusual place for a concert experience: beneath the largest Protestant church on the Middle Rhine, a concentrated, almost contemplative theatrical atmosphere arises. The church at Kaiserplatz has about 1,200 seats, while the crypt forms an intimate counterpoint to the vast nave. For the audience, this means proximity, sonic precision, and a special mixture of spiritual aura and musical immediacy.
