Experience The Gospel People live on December 29th

The Gospel People, a vocal ensemble specializing in contemporary gospel music with influences from soul, funk, and jazz, are scheduled to perform at Maria-und-Martha-Kirche in Bautzen, Germany on December 29, 2026. The group is known for its dynamic arrangements, tight harmonies, and energetic stage presence. Their repertoire typically includes both original compositions and reimagined gospel standards.

Maria-und-Martha-Kirche (St. Mary and Martha Church) is a significant historical landmark within Bautzen. Originally a medieval church built in the Gothic style, it underwent substantial Baroque alterations in the 18th century following a fire. The church is notable for its distinctive double tower facade and richly decorated interior featuring ornate stucco work and historical organ instrumentation. It served as a refuge for Protestants during periods of religious persecution in the region, particularly during the Thirty Years' War. Today it functions as an active Protestant church within the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Saxony and serves as a cultural venue hosting concerts alongside religious services. The building represents a blend of architectural styles reflecting its long history and evolving role within the community.
