A Summer Evening Full of Sound Colors
The St. Maria Riddagshausen Monastery Church is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and, with its special acoustics, provides an impressive setting for a concert that focuses on subtle registers, vibrant orchestration, and an immediate live atmosphere. Especially in historic church spaces, the organ unfolds its full range: from delicate lines to majestic sound waves.

Frédéric Deschamps Between Tradition and Improvisation
Frédéric Deschamps is known as an organist from Albi and represents a repertoire that combines historic literature and spontaneous improvisation.

The Monastery Church as a Stage for Great Silence
Those who visit the Monastery Church experience not only music but also a place with a long history and special aura. The church is located in Riddagshausen in Braunschweig, is closely linked to the former monastery, and is used as a Protestant parish church. This creates a concert evening for visitors that brings spiritual architecture, sacred space, and organ precision into a dense dialogue.
