Contemplative organ music in St. Jakobi: Advent sounds for the Christmas market
A very special event will take place today at 5 p.m. in the festively decorated old town of Lübeck: the “Organ Music for the Christmas Market” in the St. Jakobi Church. This event offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the Christmas market and find peace in a contemplative atmosphere. Lübeck reported in love that the event is both a musical introduction to the Advent season and an opportunity for reflection.
The St. Jakobi Church, known for its historic organs, will be the venue for varied music performed by talented students from the Lübeck University of Music. These young musicians bring both powerful festive pieces and delicate baroque sounds to the organs that date back to the 15th century. The fine design of the church interior underlines the festive atmosphere and invites guests to enjoy the special sound of the historical instruments.
A celebration of diversity
The “Organ Music for the Christmas Market” includes a total of 17 small concerts that offer music lovers a diverse repertoire. How describes the Lübeck University of Music, the offering ranges from baroque compositions to contemporary improvisation. This allows the organists to interpret the timbres of the old organs in a modern way and to offer the audience an unforgettable listening experience.
A special highlight awaits the listeners on December 17th, when Gregor Früh plays from the third part of the “Clavierübung” by Johann Sebastian Bach. The small stage offers students the opportunity to fill the historical space with their skills and make these venerable walls sing. Admission to these events is free, which makes the music accessible to everyone.
Take the opportunity to enjoy the contemplative time of Advent and let yourself be enchanted by the music in the St. Jakobi Church. Further information and the opportunity to find out about future concerts can be found on the website of Lübeck in love and the Lübeck University of Music.
