Organ and dance

Date & Time
Wed, May 21, 2025, 20:00
There are organ concerts, and then there are very special organ concerts. When palace organist Olivier Latry joins forces with Shin-Young Lee on the keys, the magnificent sound of the concert hall organ becomes an even more impressive musical event. This time, the program includes works that were not originally written for the organ, but their polyphony and orchestral colors create a unique effect on this instrument. "Le sacre du printemps" by Igor Stravinsky is one of these works. And... Read full text

What do the alpine horn and the organ have in common? / Torlontano / Di Lernia

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 12:00
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Carlo Torlontano (Alphorn), Francesco Di Lernia (Organ)
Although the organ is traditionally associated with sacred music and grand concerts, it can also be a fascinating complement to less typical chamber settings. The untypical combinations in this year’s organ concert series provide unique sounds and new, unexpected combinations. The result? We become more open to new interpretational possibilities and free experimenting. True to its "geographical" name, the alpine horn was often used in the Alps as a shepherd's instrument, its sound echoing through mountain valleys, serving both as a means of communication and in folk music. Hence the presence of such pieces as the traditional melody In den Alpen in the programme. This will be completed by the pastoral compositions by Leopold Mozart and Anton Zimmermann, Arcangelo Corelli’s baroque concerto arranged by Francesco Di Lernia, and contemporary compositions by Arvo Pärt and Giovanni D’Aquila. This diverse repertoire will take listeners on a journey across eras and musical styles, towards discoveries of new, surprising sounds. Alexandra KozowiczConcert duration: approximately 80 minutes

Organ Concert: Julian Becker and Aleksanteri Wallius

Sun, Oct 20, 2024, 17:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Julian Becker (Organ), Aleksanteri Wallius (Organ), Ilian Garnetz (Violin)
Off to the next round: this is the starting signal for our extremely popular organ series – and our »Queen of Instruments« shines in all its glory with its almost 6,000 pipes after a recent general refurbishment. The first concert of the season will feature two young prizewinners of prestigious competitions: firstly, we have a programme rich in connections by organist Julian Becker. He performs together with our concertmaster Ilian Garnetz: with the violin sonata in C minor composed around 1720, the two show how Bach’s complex world of sound and musical ideas can be performed. The following homage to the unrivalled baroque master is a milestone in the work of Hungarian composer Zsigmond Szathmáry, born in 1939. Already his fellow countryman and predecessor Franz Liszt created a popular organ work on the name B-A-C-H in 1856: baroque music in a romantic setting. The possibilities of our organ are also fully mobilised in the second part of the concert: by the Finnish artist Aleksanteri Wallius, who won the Wiesbaden Bach Competition in 2023. He opens with a colourful and virtuoso piece by his compatriot Veli Kujala: »Azul« was written in 2004 and fascinates with its rhapsodic character. He then plays a transcription of an era-defining piano work: Liszt’s grandiose Sonata in B minor from 1853 impresses with a plethora of moods and thematic metamorphoses – which is why Wagner raved: »The sonata is beautiful beyond all description; grand, charming, deep and noble. I am deeply moved by it.«

Organ matinee Thomas Ospital and Emmanuel Pahud

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 11:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Thomas Ospital (Organ), Emmanuel Pahud (Flute)
Both create music through the flow of air, and yet they could hardly be more different: the powerful, large organ and the intimate, modest flute. In this concert, Thomas Ospital, organist of St Eustache Church in Paris, and Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, demonstrate how well the two instruments go together – with dreamy, often highly virtuosic works by Jehan Alain, Camille Saint-Saëns and Frank Martin. The full splendour of the organ’s sound comes into its own in the transcription of Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre as well as in Liszt's Consolation and his variations on Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen”.

Organ matinee Vincent Dubois and Marie-Andrée Joerger

Sun, Feb 23, 2025, 11:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Vincent Dubois (Organ), Marie-Andrée Joerger (Accordion)
They are an unconventional and avowed duet: Vincent Dubois, titular organist of Notre-Dame in Paris, and accordionist Marie-Andrée Joerger have been performing together for many years. At their organ matinee, they transform the Philharmonie first into a French salon with works by Ravel and Debussy, then into an Argentinian café – with tangos such as Invierno porteño, Adiós Nonino and Decarisimo by Astor Piazzolla. Imposing works by celebrated French organ composers Louis Vierne and Maurice Duruflé round off the performance.

Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 11:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Richard Gowers (Organ), Blechbläserensemble der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble)
Our organ series starts with one of the most interesting organists of our time: Richard Gowers, still only 29 old, discovered his passion for music as a choirboy at King’s College, Cambridge. Trained in Cambridge, London and Stuttgart, he has travelled internationally as a soloist and has also been Director of Music at St Georgeʼs, Hanover Square in London since 2023. Together with the brass section of the Berliner Philharmoniker, he will perform an opulent, late-romantic programme, including the passionate love scene from Richard Strauss’ opera Feuersnot and Franz Liszt’s heroic final tribute to his friend Chopin, Funérailles.
