An evening against forgetting: Chorwerk Ruhr brings forgotten masters to Bochum
With Erased Music: Roman Padlewski & Charles Tournemire, the Ruhrtriennale 2026 on September 12, 2026, at 8 PM in the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum, highlights two composers whose music has long remained in the shadows. Chorwerk Ruhr, the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, and Florian Helgath create an intense concert experience between spiritual depth, historical tension, and grand sound architecture.

Forgotten music that immediately touches the soul
Charles Tournemire's La douloureuse passion du Xrist and Roman Padlewski's Stabat Mater combine faith, loss, and memory into a program of extraordinary emotional power. The Ruhrtriennale describes the series as a concert series against forgetting; this is precisely where this evening draws its special aura.

A choir with character
Chorwerk Ruhr is one of the most significant chamber choirs in Germany and has been working under the artistic direction of Florian Helgath since 2011, who is considered one of the leading choral conductors of his generation. Together with the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, a finely balanced choral sound is created, making sacred music appear immediate and alive rather than museum-like.

Jahrhunderthalle Bochum as an atmospheric stage
The Jahrhunderthalle Bochum at An der Jahrhunderthalle 1 in 44793 Bochum provides the appropriate setting for this music: an industrial character, plenty of room for resonance, and an impressive live atmosphere. Public transport access is possible via lines 302, 305, 310 as well as bus lines 345 and 355 to Bochumer Verein/Jahrhunderthalle; for drivers, the Westpark / Jahrhunderthalle parking garage is available at a rate of 5 euros per 24 hours.

A program with historical depth
The concert presents two life paths side by side, shaped by war, loss, and artistic perseverance. Padlewski, whose work was nearly erased by the destruction in World War II, and Tournemire, whose Passion music has only recently become more visible again, are given a stage here where music history is not only told but audibly re-negotiated.

Conclusion
Anyone looking for an extraordinary concert experience with spiritual depth, precise orchestration, and strong stage presence in Bochum should mark this date. Erased Music: Roman Padlewski & Charles Tournemire promises an evening that touches, resonates, and has a particularly intense effect live at the Jahrhunderthalle.
