Sounds of the Unseen World - Crescendo

Concerts & Performances

For performing classical and jazz musicians, programming elements of Play & Pray into concert programs can be a wonderful way to bless the audience and engage in a special, spiritual moment. This requires more advanced improvisation techniques and performing experience, but offers a wonderful opportunity for adding a little moment of connection through the art of classical or jazz improvisation.

A Crescendo concert

This concert format is one of the possibilities Crescendo offers for churches, festivals and concert organizers. It interweaves classical repertoire with improvisations through a thematic thread, binding the texts and music together. The program varies depending on the available musicians and the context where the concert is performed.

In this video, you can get a little taster of an improvised moment at a church concert in Chemnitz, Germany, as part of the European Cultural Capital 2025 church music festival.
