A Sound Space with History
The Monastery Church is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and has shaped the musical life in the eastern part of Braunschweig for centuries. Its space, the stone walls, and the sacred acoustics create a blend of tranquility and resonance that makes an organ concert an intense live experience.

Organ Art with Finest Orchestration
The program emphasizes an exciting arc between classical and church music. Mozart's clarity, Ritter's romantic tension, and Praetorius's early baroque sound language unfold their full tonal depth at the organ. This is where the special fascination of such a concert lies: every registration, every articulation, and every dynamic nuance is immediately perceptible in the church space.
