Organ

Bach and Reger

Dresden Organ Cycle | With Sebastian Freitag, the new organist of Dresden Cathedral

About the Concert

This program leads to at least two highlights of German organ music: Johann Sebastian Bach is inconceivable without his works for the queen of instruments. And for Max Reger, the uncomfortable composer from the Upper Palatinate, who was either depressed or in high spirits, there was nothing greater than playing the organ. And to create works for it! We have invited the new organist of Dresden Cathedral, Sebastian Freitag, who knows both very well
