A quiet evening with great impact: CORDA at the chapel of the Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz
When music directly influences the daily life of a clinic, a concert moment with special depth is created. In CORDA. Music with Heart and Soul, students from the University of Music Mainz perform in the chapel of the Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz for patients, relatives, and interested listeners. The series combines chamber music, closeness, and musical presence into a live experience that relies not on grand gestures but on genuine resonance. The concerts take place on the third Thursday of the month at 6 PM; admission is free. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/2025/01/20/corda-musik-mit-herz-und-seele/))
Music as an immediate encounter
The idea behind CORDA is as simple as it is powerful: Music should not only take place on a stage but in a space where it provides comfort, tranquility, and attention. The University of Music Mainz describes the series as a collaboration with the Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz; the concerts are played in the chapel and also transmitted via the internal system into the hospital rooms. This way, the sounds also reach immobile patients. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/2025/01/20/corda-musik-mit-herz-und-seele/))
HfM Mainz: Young Talent with Sound Awareness
The University of Music Mainz is one of the most active concert venues in the Rhine-Main region and emphasizes its role as a cultural organizer, where students perform in numerous concerts of various styles and genres. This gives CORDA a special authority: Here, not only training is at the center, but also practical stage experience, musical responsibility, and sensitive orchestration on a small scale.

The acoustics of the chapel and the tranquility of the place
A chapel changes the listening space. The sound feels closer, more direct, and more personal than in a traditional concert hall. Especially in chamber music or soloistic settings, an intimate live atmosphere is created, where every detail matters: attack, phrasing, dynamics, breath. The Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz is located at Goldgrube 11 in Mainz; visitors can reach the location by bus and tram, and the parking garage at the main entrance is wheelchair accessible.

Free admission, open access
A special charm of this series lies in its openness. Admission to CORDA is free, and external guests are expressly welcome. This transforms a clinical format into an accessible cultural event, which, especially during the pre-Christmas season, offers a quiet but strong alternative to the loud concert scene. For Mainz, this results in an appointment that credibly connects culture and social closeness. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/2025/01/20/corda-musik-mit-herz-und-seele/))
What visitors can expect
