40 Years of Gospel Power: The Blue Notes Celebrate Their Great Anniversary in Fürth

With Celebrate, the gospel choir Blue Notes invites you to the Evang.-Luth. Church Community of Heilig Geist in Fürth on May 23, 2026. The anniversary program combines new songs with selected pieces from four decades of choir history and promises an emotional concert experience filled with energy, warmth, and a vibrant live atmosphere. Admission is free, donations are appreciated.

A Choir with a Distinctive Signature

For 40 years, the Blue Notes from Nuremberg-Langwasser have shaped the regional gospel scene with a clear profile: soulful, rhythmically precise, and always close to the audience. The choir has been based in its hometown of Langwasser for many years and focuses on gospels and spirituals, which shine both in a cappella passages and in combination with a band. The musical direction is in the hands of Sabrina Förner, who skillfully leads the choir through the anniversary program.

Between Choir History and New Sound Color

Celebrate is more than just a retrospective. The program reflects the changing accents of the various choir directors and shows how the sound of the Blue Notes has continuously evolved. From this, the excitement of an evening emerges where tradition meets fresh orchestration. With Norbert Hiller on piano, Gerold Wittek on bass, and Felix Bratfisch on drums, a compact, lively accompaniment adds dynamics and depth to the gospel evening.

The Heilig-Geist-Kirche as a Suitable Concert Venue

The Heilig-Geist-Kirche on Fürther Hardhöhe provides the fitting framework for such an anniversary: a place with clear acoustics, short paths, and a church concert atmosphere where voices and instruments have an immediate effect. The congregation recommends accessing by car via Soldnerstraße; by public transport, the Hardhöhe stop can be reached via subway line 1 and bus lines 171 and 176. The church is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM and is located at the Max-Planck-Straße site of the congregation.

Gospel with Heart, Groove, and Goosebumps

The Blue Notes represent songs that the audience not only hears but also feels physically: clapping rhythms, warm harmonies, powerful choir voices, and finely tuned synchronization between choir and band. Especially in the anniversary program, the audience's mood is likely to oscillate between remembering and engaging. Experiencing gospel live here is not a routine but an immediate, emotional stage performance with soul.

Conclusion: Celebrate brings 40 years of choir history, strong voices, and refined band sound to the Fürth Heilig-Geist-Kirche. Anyone wanting to experience a touching gospel evening with festive energy and authentic live atmosphere should mark this date and be there in person.
