Instrumental
Meetings
Bring your instrument. Meet other instrumentalists. Play together.
A Sunday meeting for different generations, different levels, and the people who help make participation possible.
People can arrive from very different Sundays.
A young instrumentalist arrives with a parent. The parent does not need to play. They may simply stay nearby while their child takes part.
Someone else opens an instrument they have not played regularly for years. An older instrumentalist may already be there and may leave before lunch. An adult can arrive later.
They do not need to arrive together, be the same age, or have the same musical level to share part of the same moment.
Your Sunday around the meeting
Come for the time you have. The meeting can remain part of a real Sunday rather than requiring everyone to live the same schedule.
Come with your instrument, with your child, or alongside someone you support.
Beginning, returning, experienced, young or older — there can be a place for the experience you have.
Play, listen, encourage, accompany, meet people and be present around the assembly.
You do not have to give your whole Sunday. The meeting continues.
Frankfurt Instrumental Meeting
Frankfurt am Main is the first launch city. The first assembly is beginning to form around instrumentalists who are ready now and others who are discovering the meeting as it takes shape.
Frankfurt formation snapshot
Early formationFrankfurt is in its FORMING stage. This snapshot follows the parts of the first meeting as they take shape, from the assembly itself to the place, equipment and local presence around it.
Where are you today?
People can meet the forming assembly at different moments. Some are ready to take part now; others simply want to follow what Frankfurt becomes.
I’m ready
I play an instrument and Frankfurt already feels like a meeting I could take part in.
I may participate
The idea interests me and I would like to follow the formation before deciding whether to participate.
What is an Instrumental Meeting?
An Instrumental Meeting brings different generations and levels together around a prepared Gospel-based instrumental framework. It is not a concert and it is not a general open jam.
Different musical lives. One common base.
People may arrive from very different musical backgrounds. The meeting itself uses Gospel as its common musical base — with simple progressions, rhythm, harmony, listening and call-and-response that different instruments and different levels can enter together.
Come with the experience you have. The music of the meeting is prepared for the assembly.
The meeting is not built around each person bringing a personal playlist or choosing unrelated songs. Different people take different places inside the same prepared musical moment.
A facilitator sets a simple progression, rhythm, theme or prepared song structure for the assembly.
A beginner may hold root notes or long tones; another player may support rhythm or harmony.
More experienced instrumentalists can add movement, call-and-response and direction while remaining inside the shared structure.
The group comes back to the common theme so the result belongs to the assembly rather than to one player.
Who forms the assembly?
People with different lives, different ages and very different experience can share the same Sunday moment.
Just beginning
“I have only played for a few days. Maybe meeting others will encourage me to continue.”
Coming with family
“My child plays. We can come together and spend part of Sunday around other instrumentalists.”
Free this Sunday
“My week is busy and I play only a few days each month. Today I have time to bring my instrument.”
Playing again
“It has been a long time. I don’t need a stage — I need a reason to open the case again.”
Bringing experience
“I have played for years. I can share the moment, play beside others and encourage someone beginning.”
Still part of it
“I may stay for the morning or only a while. My instrument can still bring me among other people.”
A parent does not need to play an instrument to make the moment possible.
Parents can accompany younger instrumentalists during the meeting. A child or young person can play beside different generations, listen, develop rhythm, and experience shared instrumental time while their parent or guardian remains present.
The parent may be there to bring the child, remain nearby, encourage them, meet other people, and go home together when it is time.
For minors, parent or guardian presence is required.
First meeting opening
Instrumentalists, teachers, learners, parents, places, and supporters can help the first meeting begin. Not everyone enters the moment in the same way.
Instrumental Meetings — Germany
Frankfurt forms first. Interest from other cities helps determine where the project should develop next.
Frankfurt am Main

Stuttgart
Interest is beginning to gather around the city.
Munich

Another German city
Other German cities can emerge as local interest becomes visible.
What Frankfurt is building now
The first Frankfurt Instrumental Meeting is taking shape step by step. Alongside the forming assembly, the practical environment for the first Sunday meeting is being organized.
The first assembly is forming
Instrumentalists from different families and levels are beginning to form the first Frankfurt assembly.
A Sunday space is taking shape
The first meeting is moving toward a suitable Frankfurt-area Sunday space with room for the assembly to develop.
Shared equipment is being organized
The shared setup will take shape around the instruments present, with keyboards, drums, amplification, stands, sound equipment and storage added where they fit the first assembly.
The local structure is taking shape
Welcoming people, setup, safeguarding, technical coordination and practical organization form the local structure around the first meeting.
Designed to grow with participation
The project can begin with a modest local assembly. Its infrastructure can grow step by step alongside real participation.
Do you play an instrument?
The first Frankfurt meeting is forming now. You can step closer when the moment feels right for you.
