A melodious summer evening in the Riddagshausen Monastery Church
The International Riddagshäuser Organ Summer 2026 reaches a particularly appealing highlight with its 6th concert: Victoria Ulriksen will perform on Sunday, August 9, 2026, in the St. Mary Riddagshausen Monastery Church in Braunschweig. The concert starts at 5:00 PM and is set up as an open cultural event with free admission, donations are welcome. In the historic church, Baroque and romantic organ artistry meets an atmosphere that feels quiet, focused, and deeply alive.
Virtuosity meets sacred acoustics
Ulriksen has announced a program with a wide stylistic range for the conclusion of the Organ Summer. The plan includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Gottfried Walther, Edvard Grieg, and Max Reger. Thus, the evening spans a bridge from strict contrapuntal architecture to late Romantic might and northern sound poetry. Especially in the monastery church, where the space carries and finely blends the tones, a concert experience of particular tension unfolds.
A young organist with an international profile
Victoria Ulriksen is an organist, fortepianist, pianist, and harpsichordist. On her official website, she documents performances in significant churches and cathedrals across Europe, including Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and other renowned venues. Her biography also refers to the Drømmestipendet 2025 as well as a much-noted performance at the International Organ Festival Haarlem, where she was selected for the closing concert. For Braunschweig, she brings not only repertoire but also genuine stage experience at a high level.
Riddagshausen as a concert venue with history
St. Mary’s Monastery Church is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and has shaped Riddagshausen for centuries as a spiritual and cultural center. The surroundings of the monastery complex, nature reserve, and historic village center provide a special tranquility to the evening. Visitors experience not only music here but a whole resonance space of history, architecture, and landscape. Exactly this makes the Organ Summer so attractive: it combines spiritual tradition with vibrant present.
What the audience can expect
Those attending this concert will experience a finely balanced interplay of organ technique, acoustic depth, and emotional presence. The evening promises clear lines, large arcs, and moments of quiet intensity. For fans of organ music, the 6th concert of the International Riddagshäuser Organ Summer is an event worth attending not only because of the free entrance but also due to its special musical aura. A summer evening for all who want to not only hear but feel music in the space.
