Allerheiligen, Advent, and the Turn Inward

The month opens with Allerheiligen — All Saints' Day on November 1 — a public holiday in Bavaria that sets a reflective tone for the weeks ahead. Concert programming responds with contemplative works: requiems, late Romantic symphonies, and sacred music that seems to draw its power from the season's darkness. By late November, the first Advent concerts appear in church programs, hinting at the Christmas season to come. The Asamkirche — an almost impossibly ornate Baroque gem near the Viktualienmarkt — is particularly atmospheric for candlelit performances during these shorter days, its gilded interior glowing against the November darkness outside.

Early Winter Chill

November temperatures average 7 °C during the day and hover near 1 °C at night. Approximately ten days see precipitation — rain, occasionally the first wet snow. The early darkness (sunset arrives before 17:00 by month's end) means nearly all concerts take place after nightfall. Dress warmly, particularly for church venues where heating is limited. The contrast between the raw November air and the warmth of a concert hall is part of what makes this month's musical life so satisfying.
