5th Chur Organ Concert 2024

Recital Matthias Grünert, Dresden
"Romantic soundscapes"

The church where Matthias Grünert works as organist and cantor is world-famous: the Frauenkirche in Dresden, one of the city's most important cultural attractions. It was destroyed during the war, left in ruins for a long time as a memorial and later reconstructed. Its newly built organ is based on the organ of Johann Gottfried Sibermann, which was also lost in the war.

Grünert, who comes from Nuremberg, has already had the opportunity to perform in front of important personalities from Barack Obama to Pope Francis. His Chur programme includes works by J.G. Rheinberger, F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy and E.F. Richter.

Admission is free, a collection will be charged.
