The Mecklenburg Lake District is the land of a thousand lakes. Between the pristine shores of the waters lie ancient beech forests, wide fields and dreamy villages. In addition to romantic castles and manor houses, the historic churches in particular characterize the image of this region. Built from field stones, bricks or half-timbering, they have been places of encounter and identity for centuries - true time capsules in the midst of an impressive cultural landscape. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 18:00, we cordially invite you to the atmospheric Gessiner Kapelle to experience this special interplay of history, sound and atmosphere. The musician Stefan Grasse has selected some of these historic churches with their unique atmosphere and will be playing them in a series of concerts specially designed for the church sound space. The combination of landscape, history and music thus becomes a special cultural experience for concert-goers. The absence of ticketing and fixed admission prices enables everyone to participate and "rediscover" these traditional places. The focus of "Churches - Lakes - Music" is on romantic music for classical guitar - music that enchants and enraptures us. We will hear his own neo-classical compositions, many of which relate to the landscape and nature of the region, as well as selected works by Tárrega, Beethoven, Chopin and Satie. The internationally recognized and award-winning guitarist promises a concert experience that corresponds to a quiet late summer evening on the Mecklenburg Lake District. Floating tones that play with the transparent blue of the sky like the pastel-colored light of the setting sun. A serenade of dusk, through dream and time. The Gessiner Kapelle, with its unique acoustics and intimacy, provides the ideal setting for this event. Visitors and musicians from past events, such as guitarist Stefan Grasse, were unanimous: this atmosphere makes every evening here unforgettable. Admission is free - but we would appreciate a donation to support the cultural work on site.
