Choral Community Dachau brings MisaTango to Dachau: Concert in the Church of the Holy Cross

When tango meets devotion: An extraordinary concert evening in Dachau

On May 9, 2026, the Choral Community Dachau transforms the Church of the Holy Cross in Dachau-East into a resonance space between sacred depth and South American passion. The program includes Martín Palmeris MisaTango, Gabriel Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine, and Astor Piazzolla’s Café 1930 – a musical arc that impressively connects liturgy, sound colors, and emotional tension.

Sacred glow and rhythmic tension

Palmeris' Misa a Buenos Aires is considered one of the most prominent works of Tango Nuevo in the concert hall: choir, orchestra, and Latin mass liturgy merge into music that sounds equally intimate and charged. In Dachau, the audience experiences this score live for the first time in this setting – a concert experience that gains special intensity from the serene church acoustics and the pulsating tango rhythms.

An evening full of sound colors and contrasts

With Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine, the Choral Community Dachau sets a luminous counterpoint: gentle, sustained, imbued with inner warmth. Piazzolla’s Café 1930 opens another door – towards chamber music elegance, wistful melody, and that fine balance of street music and concert hall that makes tango so distinctive. Contributors include Theresa Holzhauser, Simon Japha, Alina Voiler, the string ensemble of BRSO, and Michael Meyer, who takes on the overall direction and also plays the flute part.

A traditional choir with a new profile

The Choral Community Dachau looks back on a long choral tradition and consciously focuses on repertoire that opens stylistic boundaries with this project. The choir is conducted by Michael Meyer; on its own website, the ensemble describes itself as an ambitious concert choir with around 55 members and a 75-year tradition. The production combines artistic ambition with a clear idea of cultural participation: alongside the Fair-Price ticket for 28 euros, there is a Social-Price ticket for 18 euros.

The church as a sound space

The Parish Church of the Holy Cross is one of the largest churches in the city of Dachau with nearly 500 seats and is explicitly highlighted on the city church's website for its very good acoustics. This space fits perfectly with a program that juxtaposes quiet contemplation and passionate escalation. Those who want to experience sacred music, choir orchestral sound, and Tango Nuevo in especially harmonious surroundings will find an evening here with rare tension and great radiance.

Conclusion: In Dachau, a concert evening awaits that uniquely combines spirituality, rhythm, and emotional depth. Anyone who wants to experience MisaTango live in this lineup and within this church space should mark May 9, 2026, in their calendar.
