Sonorous rarities: Klaus Geitner inspires at the Suhl Organ Summer!
Rare organ music will be heard in the tranquil Suhl Kreuzkirche on July 19th at 6 p.m. Klaus Geitner, a great musician from Munich, has put together an exciting program that will take listeners on an acoustic journey through five centuries. Geitner will play the historic Eilert-Köhler organ and demonstrate his talent with works by famous composers such as Druckenmüller, Böhm, Plum, Cooman and Willscher. Admission to this special concert is 10 euros, and the visit is free for everyone under 18, as inSuedthueringen reports.
The Eilert-Köhler organ that is being played is a true jewel among organs and is being given a musical makeover by Geitner. The program includes, among other things, the Fantasia pro organo pleno by the American composer Carson Cooman. Cooman, born in Rochester in 1982, received piano and organ lessons as a child and has shown a great talent for composition since the age of eight. The current resident composer at Harvard Memorial Church has made a name for himself with his innovative works.
Diverse program in the Suhl Organ Summer
The Suhl Organ Summer extends from May 3rd to September 26th. Every Friday at 12:00 p.m. a diverse program is offered in the Kreuzkirche with many talented organists, including Philipp Christ, who also plays the Eilert-Köhler organ. The events are free, although a donation is expected. A special highlight will be the concert on September 27th, where Wolfgang Zerer will present festive baroque music for the 285th birthday of the Eilert Köhler organ. Experiences with baroque music and the great composers of this era are brought to life through various performances in the Suhl Organ Summer.
The Baroque era is considered the heyday of organ music, and important artists such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Dietrich Buxtehude contributed to the development of organ music with their virtuoso compositions. Bach is particularly known for his toccatas, fugues and chorales, which are still of great importance to many organists and music lovers. The strength of Baroque music lies in the complex structure, counterpoint and rich harmonies that accompany listeners with every concert, as Lexolino explains.
The Suhl Organ Summer is not only an opportunity to experience the diversity of organ music, but also to create a cultural experience for all music lovers that keeps the history of organ music alive. Visit the concert on July 19th and let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere and the musical expertise of Klaus Geitner.
