【2024 Weiwuying Organ Festival】SCHMITT and His Friends- One Night in Baroque Classics
| ※The program has been changed. For more information, please contact +886-7-262-6666. |
This concert will be chamber music with organ, in which different instruments—trumpet, flute, and piano—are used to showcase the many faces of the organ. The pieces to be performed include HANDEL's Suite in D Major, W. F. BACH's Flute Sonata in e minor, and LISZT's Les Préludes for organ and piano. The concert also features solo performances, including BACH's famous Toccata and Fugue in d minor, as well as his Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue for piano.
The organist is Christian SCHMITT, the Artistic Director of the Weiwuying Organ Festival, who made his first visit to Weiwuying in 2023. The pianist is Grammy nominated Joseph MOOG, and the flutist is Tatjana RUHLAND of the Principal Flute of SWR Symphony Orchestra. Additionally, HOU Chuan-an, acclaimed trumpet player from Taiwan, has also been invited to perform at the festival.
The combination of trumpet and organ can be considered a perfect match of bright, brilliant timbre, while the combination of flute and organ delivers the gentle grace of woodwind instruments and the combination of organ and piano shows an energetic clash between the two kings of instruments. The pipe organ can be both exuberant and sentimental. Join us to experience the different qualities of organ music!
