Organ Power Meets Percussion: A Sound Journey between Bach and the Present
On October 6, 2026, the St. Katharinen Church at Braunschweiger Hagenmarkt transforms into an extraordinary concert hall: The duo Pipes & Beats combines organ and percussion for an impressive concert experience. Admission is free, donations are appreciated.
When the Organ Meets the Rhythm
At the center of the evening are Matthias Grünert, the organist of the Dresden Frauenkirche, and the internationally acclaimed Munich percussionist Babette Haag. Their unusual pairing opens a wide sound spectrum: powerful organ registers meet precise strikes, vibrant resonances, and finely tuned rhythmic accents.
From Baroque Mastery of Fugues to Modern Sound Splendor
The program takes the audience through several eras of music history. Johann Sebastian Bach's baroque mastery of fugues marks a significant starting point, before works from the late Romantic period by Richard Strauss and compositions by modern composers lead the sound journey into the present. Orchestration, dynamics, and synchronization unfold in the unique acoustics of the church space.
Live Atmosphere at St. Katharinen
The St. Katharinen Church provides the perfect setting for this concert between sacred expanses and pulsating percussion. The direction of the concert is taken by the musical dialogue itself: Matthias Grünert's organ playing and Babette Haag's stage performance meet in shifting sound colors, precise entries, and tension-filled contrasts.
Social Conclusion Behind the Organ
After the concert, the evening concludes sociably with wine and water behind the organ. Thus, Organ Power Meets Percussion combines intense live music with an open atmosphere that creates space for encounters and musical exchange.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect a multifaceted concert between baroque structure, late-Romantic sound fullness, and modern rhythm. Anyone wishing to experience organ music from a new perspective and feel the energy of percussion up close should attend this free concert live in Braunschweig.
