Fascinating organ sounds: an(ge)dacht” captivates Celle!
A special musical event is coming up in Celle! OnAugust 16, 2025around12 o'clockThe town church invites you to “an(ge)dacht”, an event that inspires with both music and words.

He was also president of the Association of Church Musicians in the Evangelical Church of Hanover and has published various valuable publications in the field of church music.
A musical celebration
The musical program will be exciting: the event will begin with the Toccata in D minor, which will end in a creative way - it will be played backwards (attacot). At the center of the performance is a fugue about the name B-A-C-H by Georg Andreas Sorge, which immerses the listener in the deeper meaning of Johann Sebastian Bach's music.
This musical part is framed by two sets of variations, which are based on a Norwegian and a Swedish song by Bjarne Sløgedal and Christoph Spengler. This varied composition promises a lively dialogue between different cultural influences and the deep tradition of church music.
The words come from the pastor on this day Elisabeth Schwenke, who will reinforce the musical sounds with her speech. An interplay of music and words that is intended to stimulate reflection and amazement.
A framework for music
The “an(ge)dacht” event is part of a comprehensive program that will take place in the region in the coming months. The church musicians in St. Peter and St. Magnus have planned more than 40 different concerts and musical events, including organ concerts and musical church services, showcasing both local talent and international soloists.
The town church of Celle, as one of the event locations, will be the setting for a cultural exchange on this day. With a look at the opening concerts in March for the 340th birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach, the importance of church music is also reflected here, just like the importance of the organ in the sacred music tradition.
