Experience ensemble reflektor live on August 23rd

ensemble reflektor will perform at Petruskirche in Kiel, Germany on August 23, 2026. The ensemble is known for its interpretations of early music, specifically focusing on vocal polyphony from the 15th to 18th centuries. Their repertoire frequently includes works by composers such as Josquin des Prez, Palestrina, and Bach, often presented with a focus on historically informed performance practice. They are recognized for their precise intonation, nuanced phrasing and commitment to recreating the sound world of the periods they explore.

Petruskirche is a neo-Gothic church completed in 1905, originally built as a seamen’s church to serve the port of Kiel. Designed by architect Gustav Haller, it features a prominent spire and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Saint Peter. The church sustained significant damage during World War II but was subsequently reconstructed, retaining much of its original architectural character. Its acoustics are particularly well-suited for vocal and chamber music performances due to its resonant interior and relatively moderate size. The building serves as an active parish church within the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church and also hosts cultural events throughout the year.
