Christus, Georg or Warrior? A musical investigation in the early Middle Ages
On All Saints' Day, the matinee at the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle combines fascinating early medieval finds with live historical music. The focus is on the question of a mysterious rider: Is it Christ, a saint, or a warrior?
Between Faith, Image Tradition, and Archaeology
The archaeologist Paula Schecker guides through the tension-filled world of early medieval image motifs. It becomes evident how Christian faith and older image traditions intersect and are reflected in archaeological objects, symbols, and representations. The matinee offers an informed perspective on religious ideas and cultural transitions of that era.
Historical Sounds in Colombischlössle
The musical level is provided by the Ensemble Da Camera Freiburg. Claire Garde on the traverse flute, Priska Weibel on the theorbo, and Sophie Lambembourg on the viola da gamba interpret works by Jean-Marie Leclair, Gaspar Sanz, and other composers. Traverse flute, plucked theorbo, and warm viola da gamba sound create a finely contoured sound language that gives the archaeological themes an immediate acoustic dimension.
A Concentrated Concert Experience in the Museum
The combination of a guided tour, scientific context, and chamber music makes this event more than just a classic matinee. Among museum objects and historical sound colors, a special live atmosphere is created: The audience's mood remains focused, while professional explanations and musical stage performance combine into a multifaceted concert experience.
