Café Musica

Following the concerts, the ensembles and our international guests gather each evening in the foyer of the Richard Wengenmeier Hall at the Bavarian Music Academy in Marktoberdorf. The foyer serves as the central meeting point for singers, staff, guests, and host families. From 10:00 p.m. onwards, a musical programme takes place every evening during Musica Sacra International, inviting you to participate or to simply listen.

On Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, two special concerts will be held:

 

Tobias Meggle (Halblech)

On May 23, 2026, musician and DJ Tobias Meggle (Hinterland Records & Studios) will be our guest, incorporating the musical concept of Musica Sacra International into his DJ set. Tobias Meggle (born 1966) has been working as a composer, music producer, keyboardist, and sound engineer since the early 1990s. His music combines electronic sound design with live instrumentation and warm jazz and soul influences. It is characterized by an open, detailed sound aesthetic. Meggle‘s productions include work for film, television, advertising, and numerous music projects, which have been released on over 100 albums and compilations worldwide – including for labels such as BMG, Virgin, Sony, and Warner. Since 1998, Meggle has lived and worked in the Allgäu region of Germany, where he runs Hinterland Studio and his label, Hinterland Records.

 

Feygele (Augsburg)

On May 24, 2026, starting at approximately 10:00 p.m., you can experience the Feygele Ensemble from Augsburg. Lively klezmer meets witty Yiddish songs. The programme includes instrumental klezmer, Yiddish songs, synagogue liturgy, and modern interpretations. Feygele is particularly known for its annual concert at the Parktheater in the Kurhaus Göggingen (Augsburg) and performances in synagogues, such as the former Binswangen
Synagogue. Feygele is actively involved in Christian-Jewish dialogue and performs at cultural events like the Long Night of Art in Augsburg. For their 2022 celebratory concert marking 1700 years of Jewish life in Germany, they invited the Bavarian Chamber Philharmonic to perform at the Augsburg Synagogue. The ensemble has released several CDs, including „Shlof sheyn, mayn feygele,“ which features Yiddish lullabies. The group combines musical excellence with cultural remembrance and also offers the opportunity to learn Klezmer dances. Lineup: Antonia Zott, clarinet; Christina S. Drexel, piano/vocals; Oliver Bosch, bass; Josef Strzegowski, percussion/drums.
