Martinskirche, Basel, serves as the venue for this concert. Originally constructed in the 13th century as part of the Martinsmünster monastery complex, the church underwent significant alterations during the Reformation in 1529. This period saw the removal of much of its original medieval furnishings and artwork. A notable feature is its vibrant red sandstone exterior, contrasting with many other Basel churches built from lighter stone. The interior reflects a blend of Gothic and later architectural influences. Throughout its history, Martinskirche has functioned not only as a place of worship but also as a space for community gatherings and cultural events; today it regularly hosts concerts showcasing diverse musical genres due to its favorable acoustics.
