Experience David Alegret live on June 12th

David Alegret, a Spanish-born composer and pianist, will perform at Nikolaikirche in Leipzig on June 12, 2026. Alegret’s musical style is often described as neo-romantic, drawing influences from impressionism and incorporating elements of jazz harmony. His compositions frequently feature lyrical melodies and explore themes of nature and spirituality, often showcasing his virtuosity on the piano. He is known for both solo piano works and chamber music pieces.

Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church) holds significant historical and architectural importance within Leipzig. Originally constructed in the 12th century, the current Baroque structure dates primarily from the 18th century, having been rebuilt after a fire in 1735. It served as one of Leipzig’s three main Lutheran churches alongside Thomaskirche and Peterskirche.

Throughout its history, Nikolaikirche has been a focal point for civic life and religious observance. More recently, it gained prominence as a site for Monday Demonstrations (“Montagsdemonstrationen”) in 1989 – peaceful protests that played a crucial role in the fall of the East German regime.
