IMAGINE HEAVEN

Tostedt church (St John's parish)
Himmelsweg 12

Winner of the RESONANZEN Concept Award for Music Education
For Imagine Heaven Lenka Župková, together with Kerstin Petersen and Ada Namani, has created the RESONANCES Concept Award won. The concert Imagine Heaven is designed as a walk-in, meditative journey of sound and light. At various stations in and around the church, visitors experience music, sound, silence, meditation and community. It is a journey inward and outward – an invitation to rediscover the church space not only visually, but also sensually and spiritually. The musicians and choirs perform at different locations in the church and actively incorporate the architecture into the soundscape.
Come and rediscover St John's Church with music, singing, sound, silence and meditation. Musicians, choirs and anyone interested in music – even those without any knowledge of music notation – sing and make music together in and around the church.
So that we can work on the selected songs together, we are offering rehearsals in May and June. Everyone is welcome, even if you are not a member of a choir.
Rehearsals and concerts are free of charge and registration is not required.
We look forward to seeing you! 😊
