A summer evening full of organ magic in Riddagshausen
The International Riddagshäuser Organ Summer 2026 opens its series with a special start: Dr. Carol Williams will bring the Riddagshausen Monastery Church in Braunschweig to life on July 5, 2026. The concert begins at 5:00 PM and promises an intense live experience between historical architecture, soaring organ sound, and an atmosphere that has been made for sacred music for centuries.
Historical acoustic space with a special aura
The St. Mariae Monastery Church is among the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and, with its early Gothic basilica, long reverberation, and tranquil surroundings, forms a concert venue of extraordinary radiance. It is here that the organ music unfolds its full effect: clear, majestic, and with that fine balance of transparency and power that makes a concert experience unforgettable.
Dr. Carol Williams: Virtuosity with character
Carol Williams is regarded as an internationally sought-after concert organist and composer. Her repertoire combines classical organ literature with expressive stage performance and precise orchestration on the instrument. The musician is known for her colorful sound, confident conducting at the manuals, and a playing style that brings tradition and modernity into a compelling tension. A program featuring works by Carol Williams is announced for the opening of the organ summer.
Live atmosphere between devotion and grand gesture
Those attending this concert will not only experience an organ concert but an evening full of spatial sound, perspective changes, and emotional depth. The acoustics of the monastery church carry even the finest register colors far through the nave, while the audience absorbs the music in silent concentration. Especially in the combination of sacred space and international artist profile, that special audience mood is created, which has characterized the Riddagshäuser Organ Summer for years.
