About the Concert

There are organ concerts, and then there are very special organ concerts. When palace organist Olivier Latry joins forces with Shin-Young Lee on the keys, the magnificent sound of the concert hall organ becomes an even more impressive musical event. This time, the program includes works that were not originally written for the organ, but their polyphony and orchestral colors create a unique effect on this instrument. "Le sacre du printemps" by Igor Stravinsky is one of these works. And even the famous "Sunrise" from Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé" gains a special colorfulness on the organ. By invitation of the Dresden Philharmonic Concert as part of the Dresden Music Festival

Biographies

Olivier Latry

The French organist Olivier Latry is an accomplished, thoughtful and adventurous musician who explores all possible areas of organ music and has an extraordinary talent for improvisation. He became titular organist of Notre-Dame de Paris at the age of 23 and launched his international career from there. His concerts repeatedly take him to the fantastic Eule organ in the Kulturpalast, whose Palace organist he was again in 2024/25.

Shin-Young Lee

The Korean-born organist Shin-Young Lee, who has made Paris her adopted home, impresses with her deep musicality and witty concert programmes in which she combines original literature with transcriptions that she often writes herself. She can be heard in organ-only concerts as well as together with orchestras. She is also often asked to be a jury member for competitions and enjoys giving masterclasses for young organists.
