Valer Sabadus and SPARK captivate audiences with “Closer to Paradise” in Corvey

On 13 September 2026, Valer Sabadus performed together with SPARK – the classical band at the Via Nova Kunstfest in Corvey, presenting their programme “Closer to Paradise” to an enthusiastic audience.

At the heart of the programme is the theme of longing: the longing for a better world, for closeness, freedom and a personal paradise. “Closer to Paradise” crosses genre boundaries, bringing together Baroque arias by Handel and Vivaldi, Romantic sounds, French melancholy and modern music ranging from Depeche Mode to Rammstein. With distinctive arrangements and great joy in music-making, the programme playfully dissolved musical boundaries between different eras and genres.

In the unique atmosphere of Corvey, “Closer to Paradise” took the audience on a journey between dream and reality, melody and melancholy, past and present. The result was an exceptional concert evening that explored the search for a personal paradise through a wide variety of musical perspectives.
