A summer evening full of organ magic in the Riddagshausen Monastery Church
The International Riddagshausen Organ Summer 2026 brings a special concert moment to Braunschweig on July 19: In the third concert of the series, organist Lauma Akmene performs a program featuring works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Florence Price, and Jeanne Demessieux in the St. Mary Riddagshausen Monastery Church.
Historic space, great sound
The monastery church is one of the most impressive sacred sites in the region. As an early Gothic basilica with a long history and special acoustics, it creates the very tension that makes organ music so immediate: clear outlines, long reverberation spaces, and a sound image that allows every note to breathe.
A program with depth and contrast
Lauma Akmene is known as an organist, music director, and conductor for expressive programs. Her repertoire connects early and contemporary music, and this breadth also characterizes her performance in Riddagshausen. Bach meets Mendelssohn, along with the sound language of Florence Price and Jeanne Demessieux - a program that elegantly intertwines tradition and modernity.
An audience experience between silence and tension
In a church like St. Mary Riddagshausen, a unique live atmosphere is created during an organ concert. The audience experiences not just music, but also space, light, and resonance as part of the concert experience. For those who love church music, this offers a concentrated hour full of sound colors, dynamics, and spiritual intensity.
What makes the evening special
The International Riddagshausen Organ Summer stands for refined concert culture, artistic orchestration at the organ, and an audience that appreciates the fine nuances of good live performance. This makes the third concert date one for everyone who wants to not just hear organ music, but physically feel it.
Conclusion: The 3rd concert evening of the International Riddagshausen Organ Summer promises celebratory tension, musical class, and extraordinary acoustics. Anyone who wants to experience Lauma Akmene live should not miss this date in Braunschweig.
