Premiere in Böblingen: Faith, Love, Hope” enchants!

The Böblinger vocal ensemble brings a breath of fresh air to the local music scene with the premiere of the new piece “Faith, Love, Hope”. Under the direction of Tilman Jäger, who also acts as a composer, the work will be presented on November 15th and 16th, 2025 in Tübingen and Böblingen. The anticipation is great, after all, it is the culmination of a creative process that lasted from 2018 to 2025. The composition combines texts from the Bible with selected quotations that have been set to music in a very unique musical language, which is sure to captivate the listeners.

But what exactly can visitors expect? The themes of faith, love and hope are interpreted through different musical styles: archaic sounds for faith, intimate melodies for love and a hopeful conclusion that leaves the listener with a good feeling. The ensemble is accompanied by talented musicians such as Tilman Jäger on the grand piano, Jakob Jäger on the double bass, Joachim Staudt on the saxophone and a string quartet, which gives the piece additional depth. This promises to be an extraordinary sound experience, as [Krzbb](https://www.krzbb.de/content.boeblingen-urauffuehrung- Glaube-liebe-hoffnung.35f56d64-a60a-41c8-9900-1dd7ff321746.html) reports.

An ensemble with tradition

The Böblinger Vocal Ensemble, which has existed since 2006, has made a name for itself in the region. With a wide-ranging repertoire that includes contemporary music from the 20th and 21st centuries to traditional European choral settings and ethnic folklore, it continues to delight its audiences. The performances often take place outside of Böblingen and range from jazz fairs to concert tours to various European countries, including Hungary, France, Spain and Switzerland. The new performance in the Böblingen town church also marks the ensemble's return after a long break from performing and is cause for celebration.

As part of the upcoming event, the ensemble will not only perform its new work, but also give listeners the opportunity to embark on a musical journey through time. The title of the concert, “Songs of hope”, refers to the performance of five other choral pieces by Tilman Jäger, which are strongly inspired by Old Testament themes. A successful mix that will definitely attract many interested people, as the Szbz notes.

A look into the future of choral music

Parallel to the premieres in Böblingen, there will also be reports about the international choral music scene. At the INTERKULTUR event “Grand Prix of Nations”, which took place in Berlin, many amateur choirs showed how lively contemporary choral music can be. Works like that by composer Jennah Vainio for the Kaari Ensemble offer exciting insights into new sound worlds and inspiring topics that can also find new ground in the region, as reported on Interkultur.

With “Faith, Love, Hope,” the Böblinger Vocal Ensemble has the opportunity not only to cross musical boundaries, but also to inspire a new generation of choral music lovers. This November event promises to be a highlight of the region's musical landscape.
