Memmingen Peace Event | 26.10.2026 | 19:00 - 20:30
HAGIOS Peace Prayer
Venue: Christuskirche Schweitzerstraße 19, 87700 Memmingen (Ost)
On the occasion of the United Nations International Day of Peace, a sung prayer for peace will take place for the second time on Saturday, September 26, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Evangelical Lutheran Christuskirche in the east of Memmingen as part of the Memmingen Week of Diversity and the "Live Peace" concert series.
The event is part of the "Live Peace" concert series, which was launched in 2025 and aims to carry the message "We want peace" around the world – from living room concerts to large live stages. The HAGIOS song recital is a sing-along project that ranges from contemplative silence to powerful, polyphonic singing. All you need is your own voice and the joy of singing together. The aim is to transform the church into a large sound space together. Easy-to-learn spiritual canons and songs from Helge Burggrabe's HAGIOS cycle will be sung. Inspired by the ancient Greek word "HAGIOS" for the "sacred", the unnameable, towards which all religions are oriented, the composer developed a treasure trove of songs that continues the old singing tradition of monasteries and communities such as Taizé in a contemporary form.
Admission is free. Donations in favor of the Christian-Muslim Salvator School in Nazareth are requested.
