In the two organ concerts for children, the instrument becomes a storyteller. Together we search for the lost music and even travel to outer space. There is fascinating music to discover at every location until we find a mysterious melody at the end.

Concert 1: 1.00 pm
Concert 2: 2.15 pm

The concerts last approx. 45 minutes and can also be attended individually.
The ticket is valid for both concerts.

The organ is also known as the "Queen of Instruments" due to its size and magnificent appearance. With its many different tone colours, it sounds like an entire orchestra. It is a demanding instrument for organists, as it is played not only with the hands but also with the feet. We present our new organ in all its marvellous facets for young and old.
