Programme Notes

Internationale Orgeltage Zürich

Three internationally renowned organists, both in the field of improvisation and as performers, enter into a fascinating musical dialogue between composed and improvised music in different styles.

The International Organ Days were conceived by concert organist Prof. Christian Schmitt, in consultation with Dr. Hans-Peter Fricker, President of the Friends of the new Zurich Tonhalle Organ. They will be curated by Christian Schmitt and Prof. Tobias Willi in 2023.
