The late Gothic sacred building is an excellent performance venue for vocal music and is available in particular to the numerous choirs of the city of Halle for their concerts.
The Ulrichskirche concert hall also plays host to jazz, gospel and folk music. Around 150 public concerts of all kinds are held here every year.
The Ulrichskirche was converted into a concert hall on the basis of a usage contract and opened as a municipal cultural facility in 1976.
Servite monks (Servitenknechte) laid the foundation stone for their two-nave monastery church in 1339 and created a rarity among the hall churches of the late Gothic period with this asymmetry. The building was not completed until 1510. In 1980, the organ builder W. Sauer, Frankfurt/Oder, installed a concert organ with 56 stops. It was renovated in 2019 by the company Alexander Schuke Orgelbau GmbH (Werder). The organ offers a wide range of tonal possibilities for the performance of organ music from different eras.
