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.
