Benjamin Alard live in Berlin

Experience Benjamin Alard live on July 28th

Benjamin Alard will perform at Kirche St Marien in Berlin on July 28, 2026. Alard is a French classical guitarist known for his interpretations of both established repertoire and contemporary compositions. His style frequently incorporates elements of impressionism and romanticism, characterized by nuanced phrasing, a rich tonal palette, and a focus on expressive melody. He often performs works by composers like Debussy and Villa-Lobos alongside pieces commissioned specifically for him.

Kirche St Marien, located in the Nikolaiviertel, is Berlin’s oldest parish church. Its history dates back to the 13th century, though the current structure largely reflects reconstruction efforts following significant damage during World War II. Originally a Catholic church, it became Protestant during the Reformation. The church is notable for its twin spires and its prominent position within Berlin’s historical center. Following extensive restoration completed in the 1980s, it now serves as a cultural and memorial site, hosting concerts and exhibitions alongside religious services. The interior features a notable organ and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from Berlin's history. It stands as a symbol of the city’s resilience and enduring heritage.
