After Work Tunes at the Chapel for Europe
Pause. Breathe. Listen.

The Chapel for Europe is delighted to welcome you to this new initiative: “After Work Tunes”, a monthly musical rendezvous designed to mark the close of the working day.

Once a month, on Tuesday or Thursday in the last week of the month, you are warmly invited to a 45-minute concert at 19:00, offering a moment of calm, tunes and joy.

These early evening concerts will feature amateur musicians and singers, sharing a variety of musical styles suited to the spiritual space of the Chapel. Each gathering is an opportunity to step out of the day’s rhythm and enter a different tune: sit back, unwind and relax while enjoying some music.

Second date: Thursday, 26 June with the Blockflötenatelier (BFA)/ Recorder ensemble of St. Paulus and Emmaus churches.

Mark the following dates in your calendar: September 29, October 29, and November 26.

Donations are welcome for the Chapel for Europe, a haven for peace.

The Blockflötenatelier joins,  for this special After Work Tunes evening, 11 women playing different types of recorders. They range from the Contrabass, which is very rarely seen and impressively 2 m tall, to the Garklein recorder, which is 16cm long.
