Old music meets jazz, composition meets improvisation, old instruments meet unheard sounds, the Middle Ages meet world music, portative meets sheng, choral meets tango, classical meets groove, sound space meets spatial sound.

Volker Jaekel: Organ, Portativ (portable, medieval organ)
Gert Anklam: Saxophones, Sheng (Chinese mouth organ)

The Berlin musicians span a wide arc in their program from early music to jazz, connecting our different musical influences. Unusual arrangements of old chorales resonate, along with original compositions influenced by collaboration with musicians from other cultures, orchestral soundscapes on the organ, and captivating improvisations. In the concert, they also perform with two small and rare organs. These include the Chinese mouth organ Sheng and the medieval Portativ.

In their repertoire, they have arrangements of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Edward Grieg, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Steve Lacy, Astor Piazzolla, and others.

An exciting musical journey through different times and styles.

“A dreamy fusion of organ sound and saxophone, beyond common clichés, a musical journey through the world to oneself.”

Konzert für Viola, Flöte und Orgel

In today's concert, a chamber music formation common in the late Baroque era comes to life. The trio arrangement with flute, viola, and basso continuo was very popular in early bourgeois house music as well as at court. Both Johann Sebastian Bach and his sons Carl Philipp and Wilhelm Friedemann, along with the latter's teacher, Johann Gottlieb Graun, have composed wonderful trios. You will learn how their paths crossed and what musically connects them in today's evening concert at the Zingster Church. The rarely heard bass flute will be played by Juliane Philine Rothmaler. Joining her are Gewandhaus organist Michael Schönheit and violist Katharina Dargel.

#42 Nordwinde – Tuba und Orgel

Andreas Martin Hofmeir Tuba
Barbara Schmelz Organ

When the queen of instruments meets the un-crowned queen of brass instruments. Or to express it in the words of Andreas Martin Hofmeir: with so many pipes, one more doesn’t matter. Because while the Stiftskirchen musician of the Benedictine Abbey Nonnberg in Salzburg races through her manuals, the ECHO award winner relaxes as he blows into his rolled-up 16-foot. With the rich colors of the organ, Hofmeir's tuba "Fanny" is an equal partner in sound fullness. Whether in baroque arrangements as continuo, as a gentle string ensemble in English folk songs, or as a fairground hurdy-gurdy in the tango Jalousie, Barbara Schmelz offers a musical framework on the unique Winterhalter organ that couldn't be more varied. And it is this very framework that Hofmeir uses to show the world what it has long suspected: that the tuba is the most beautiful, sonorous, highly developed, and wonderful of all instruments. See for yourself!

CONCERT #42 € 36 reduced € 32 / free seating
The concert will be transmitted via video projection into the altar area.

The organs in St. Nikolai have been refurbished - a new organ concert series at the beginning of autumn invites you to hear the instruments. In preparation for the performance of "Elias" on October 4, Mahela Reichstatt (Cathedral of Schleswig), Magne Draagen (St. Michaelis Hamburg), and Volkmar Zehner perform the major organ works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: the three preludes and fugues op. 37 as well as the six sonatas op. 65 - contrasted with organ works by J.S. Bach, Norwegian masters of the Romantic era, and Olivier Messiaën.

Klingendes Museum I Michaelsteiner Orgelspur

Three organs from different periods and with completely different sound concepts will be presented in a sounding tour: At the beginning, the mechanical organ of the music machine, based on the sound ideal of the Renaissance, will resonate. The trail then leads to the organ by Friedrich Wilhelm Wäldner from 1850 in the refectory, which is still strongly rooted in the late Baroque tradition. Finally, the instrument in the Baroque monastery church, which was built in 1891 by Robert Knauf as a romantic organ and expanded in 1904 by his son Ernst, will sound.

The musical pieces are complemented by explanations of the three organs.

Opus 4 - Von Bach bis Gershwin mit Orgel

The "trumpet of the deep register," as the trombone is sometimes called, is one of the oldest fully chromatic orchestral instruments alongside the violin. It took its current form around 1450 in Burgundy as a development of the slide trumpet towards deeper tones. In the 16th century, the trombone enjoyed such popularity that it was built in a variety of vocal ranges. However, in the following century, it was limited to the currently common alto, tenor, and bass instruments. Since the 18th century, the trombone trio with different distributions of the three vocal ranges has had a fixed place in the orchestra. Additionally, the long tradition of trombone playing ranges from medieval town pipers to Evangelical trombone choirs to modern quartets. Nevertheless, there are only a few works written specifically for the trombone. It is therefore not surprising that the program of the Leipzig trombone quartet OPUS 4 contains hardly any original compositions, but rather mainly arrangements. A significant portion of the arrangements comes from the founder and conductor of the ensemble, Jörg Richter himself. Pieces from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are included in the program alongside modern and popular compositions. This proves that the trombone is uniquely suitable for old and new music, extending to jazz alike. An ideal that is especially close to the heart of the ensemble OPUS 4 is the typically soft sound of the trombone.

Jazztrompete & Pfeifenorgel - Frederik Köster und Kit Downes

Jazztrompete & Pfeifenorgel
Frederik Köster und Kit Downes

What happens when the acoustic freedom of jazz meets the nearly unlimited expressive possibilities of a pipe organ? Frederik Köster and Kit Downes demonstrate how exciting and natural this dialogue can sound. In the Friedenskirche Düsseldorf-Unterbilk, two outstanding musicians meet, who are among the most innovative artists in Europe, well beyond the boundaries of their genres.

With great joy in playing and openness, trumpet and organ connect their own compositions with newly interpreted works from music history. This creates fascinating soundscapes where jazz and classical music meet in a very natural way. The music of Johann Sebastian Bach also receives a surprisingly new perspective.

A concert full of musical spontaneity, acoustic sophistication, and inspiring dialogues – and an invitation to experience the organ in a completely different way.

Orgel – Musik aus dem Augenblick III

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923 – Directed by: Lon Chaney) is the first monumental film adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel and will be projected as a silent film live on the big screen in the Frauenkirche. Just as the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris (= Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris) is originally dedicated to Saint Mary, the Dresden Frauenkirche is also dedicated to the Holy Mary. Both churches hold great significance for the international community, and thus, Frauenkirchen organist Niklas Jahn has taken this opportunity to accompany this outstanding film improvisationally on the organ. You can expect an exciting excursion into historical imagery and French-symphonic sound worlds.

--

Since its founding in 1974, the Löricker Kammerorchester has consistently developed into a fixed component of the cultural life on the left bank of the Rhine. Initially musically based at the Philippus Church in the Düsseldorf district of Lörick, the orchestra has over the years also organized numerous performances together with the local choir.

For over two decades, the chamber orchestra has been based at the Bethlehem Church in Meerbusch-Büderich and regularly presents concerts in different formations. Thematically related program arrangements such as "Very British," "Bella Italia," or "With Timpani and Trumpets" provide stylistic diversity with works from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The orchestra particularly aims to surprise the audience time and again with unknown works or rarely performed composers.

In addition to pure string music, solo concerts, often featuring instrumental soloists from within the ranks, as well as occasional cantata performances, are almost always a fixed part of the repertoire. Since 2011, the musical direction of the chamber orchestra has been in the hands of Landeskirchenmusikdirektor i.R. Ulrich Cyganek.

Ansgar Schlei studied Protestant church music at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover with Cornelius Schneider-Pungs and Pier Damiano Peretti (Artistic organ playing), Hans-Joachim Rolf (Liturgical organ playing), as well as Gerrit Zitterbart (Piano), Peter-Anton Ling (Singing), and Hildebrandt Haake (Choral conducting). He completed additional organ studies with Bine Katrine Bryndorf (Copenhagen), Carlo Hommel (Luxembourg), Ton Koopman (Amsterdam), Michael Radulescu (Vienna), Reinhold Richter (Mönchengladbach), and Harald Vogel (Bremen).
In the summer of 2005, he passed his church music A-exam with distinction in the field of artistic organ playing.
He also studied law in Göttingen, Hagen, and Cologne.

In 2000, Ansgar Schlei was temporarily the organist at the Christ Pavilion at the World Expo EXPO in Hannover. After working as a church musician in Springe and Hannover, he followed the call of the Ev.-luth. Petri-Pauli congregation Bad Münder am Deister in 2001, where he worked predominantly as an organist and choir director as well as the artistic director of the concert series "Klanghorizonte Bad Münder" and the "Evening Music Bad Münder" series that he initiated.

From 2004 to 2008, Ansgar Schlei was vice president of the Association of Protestant Church Musicians in the Ev.-luth. Church of Hanover. In his capacity as a board member of the Hanoverian church musician association, he was also a member of the labor and service law commission of the Confederation of Protestant Churches in Lower Saxony for some time.

In December 2005, he followed the call to the Willibrordi Cathedral in Wesel, where he has been serving as a cantor since April 2006. Furthermore, he is the district cantor in the Wesel church district of the Protestant Church in the Rhineland.
He is also the head of a training course for part-time church musicians in the Niederrhein region and a member of the state church examination committee for church music.
Since 2020, Ansgar Schlei has been the chairman of the Association for Church Music in the Protestant Church in the Rhineland e.V.
In 2022, he was awarded the title "Church Music Director" by the Protestant Church in the Rhineland for his services to church music.

His extensive concert activities regularly take him throughout Germany and to neighboring countries. Several CD productions, as well as radio and television recordings, complement his extensive musical work.

Silvesterfestkonzert "Feuerwerk für die Orgel"

Musical Year-End Farewell with Virtuoso Master
At the turn of the year, former Thomas organist Prof. Ullrich Böhme ignites a true fireworks display on the EULE organ in the cathedral.

Ullrich Böhme was elected organist at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig in 1985 and served as Thomas organist until his retirement in 2021. He is among the world's leading interpreters of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and has won numerous international awards (also for his digital recordings). In addition to his work as an organist, Böhme has significantly contributed to research on the life and work of Bach and its reception in the 19th and 20th centuries. Bach research has a long and significant tradition at the Theological Faculty, most recently in the form of the works of Prof. Martin Petzoldt, who was active at the Theological Faculty as a professor of systematic theology until 2011.

Three Wise Man - The European Songbook

Frank Roberscheuten – Saxophone

Rossano Sportiello – Piano

Oliver "Bridge" Mewes – Drums

Have you ever wondered what today’s jazz repertoire would look like if musicians like Louis Armstrong or Charlie Parker had chosen compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Giuseppe Verdi, Franz Lehár, or Ennio Morricone for their improvisations?

The “Three Wise Men” provide an interesting and entirely new answer to this question with their new project, the “European Songbook”.

The often-cited Great American Songbook is a collection of melodies from American composers such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, and Cole Porter. This famous songbook was compiled between 1920 and 1950 and is the cornerstone of the classic jazz repertoire. All great jazz musicians have drawn part of their musical material from this pool of melodies.

Frank Roberscheuten, festival director, bandleader, jazz workshop promoter, and one of the most distinguished European jazz saxophonists, has chosen 15 pieces from European music history—from Johann Sebastian Bach to Toots Thielemans, from Franz Lehár to Ennio Morricone—and reworked them into swinging jazz standards with his colleagues, Italian pianist Rossano Sportiello and drummer Oliver “Bridge” Mewes.

The members of the “Three Wise Men,” three musicians from the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany, have been working together for 18 years and have proven their extraordinary musical format in about 1500 concerts throughout Europe.

Roberscheuten’s virtuosic clarinet and saxophone playing, deeply rooted in the tradition of jazz giants like Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young, skillfully connects the “sound of the 30s” with entirely new improvisational templates.

The Milanese-born Rossano Sportiello, now living in New York, is regarded by experts as one of the world’s best pianists in traditional jazz. The New York Times wrote of him that he is the best import from Italy since Barolo. With his virtuoso multi-stylistic play, he keeps audiences worldwide captivated.

Drummer/percussionist Oliver “Bridge” Mewes from Germany, a swing drummer par excellence, provides no less virtuosic the rhythmic foundation on which the trio moves. Musical boundaries do not exist for the Wise Men.

They channel their collective playing experience into their new project. Their almost telepathic interplay and their shared language, that of classical jazz, make their new project one of the most interesting endeavors in today’s traditional jazz.

Look forward to the 3 Wise Men and the European Songbook!
