Sound meets space: The special atmosphere of the monastery church
The monastery church in Riddagshausen is a place for fine resonances and contemplative live atmosphere. Those who experience an organ concert here receive not just a simple program but a concert experience with architectural depth: long reverberation spaces, precise orchestration through registration colors, and a sound that weaves through the church nave. The church is located at Klostergang 57 in Braunschweig and has been confirmed as the venue for this concert.

Frédéric Deschamps: Virtuosity with historical depth
Frédéric Deschamps is known as an organist from Albi and is regularly sought after as a concert organist in France and abroad. He has been the titular organist at the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral and the Collégiale Saint-Salvi in Albi since 2014; his repertoire ranges from Baroque literature to improvisations. For Riddagshausen, the program announces works by Couperin, Rameau, and Bach - a stylistically clever dramaturgy that combines Baroque sound language, transparent articulation, and improvisatory freedom.

Baroque elegance, played alive
The concert promises an evening for listeners who love the dialogue between historical music and immediate stage presence. Especially with organ music, tension arises not only from volume but from playing with space, timing, and registration art. When Couperin meets Rameau and Bach sets the dramatic framework, a concert emerges that appeals to both connoisseurs and curious rediscoverers.
