International organ music performances

Overview

Organ music performances and concert series are being highlighted across Europe and Japan during the summer and late 2026.

In Romania, the Transylvania summer season includes concerts in evangelical churches, such as performances by Vlad Năstase in Großau and various ensembles in Hermannstadt. In Germany, Essen Cathedral featured resident artist Alma Bettencourt, while Speyer Cathedral scheduled a program by Japanese organists Mami Nagata and Kensuke Ohira to blend French romanticism with contemporary Japanese compositions.

As the season progresses into late 2026, German venues continue to host specialized events. St. Nikolai in Hamburg scheduled a ‘Night of Churches’ featuring Anne Michael, an event intended to blend historical music with light projections and lasers. The St. Nikolai organ, which underwent restoration and digital expansion in 2023, contains approximately 7,500 pipes.

Abtei Marienstatt announced the ‘Orgeltriduum’ concert series for September, featuring Mélodie Michel on September 6, Jan Liebermann on September 11, and a collaboration between Ute Gremmel-Geuchen and Heinz-Peter Kortmann on September 13.

Other significant German events in September 2026 include the inauguration of the Klais organ at Heilig-Kreuz-Münster in Rottweil, following a six-month overhaul, with a formal consecration on September 20. The Liebfrauenmünster in Ingolstadt will host French virtuoso Daniel Roth on September 6.

Additional scheduled performances include a ‘Music for Reflection’ concert at Loccum Abbey on September 6 by Ukrainian organist Stanislav Yakovliev, and a concluding organ matinee in Leutkirch on September 12 featuring Emma Geser, Bernd Geser, and Franz Günthner.
