Jahr meiner Tätigkeit als Seelsorger der Basilika St. Peter in Dillingen wurde mir vom Vorstand der „Dillinger Basilikakonzerte e.V.“ die Schirmherrschaft für dieses Kon- zertjahr übertragen. Ich freue mich darüber, weil ich dieses internationale Kirchenmusik- und Orgelfestival gemeinsam mit unserem Basilikaorganisten Axel Flierl im Jahr 2007 aus der Taufe heben durfte. Anlass war damals die Generalsanierung und Erweiterung unserer großen Basilikaorgel, die neben dem liturgischen Einsatz auch im Konzert erklingen soll und seither zum An- ziehungspunkt für renommierte Organisten aus aller Welt geworden ist. Dass sich die Dillinger Basilikakonzerte in we- nigen Jahren zur festen musikalischen Größe und zum Glanz- punkt in unserer Stadt und weit darüber hinaus entwickeln würden, ist ein lang gehegter Traum, der nun Wirklichkeit werden konnte. Ist doch Dillingen mit einer reichen Musikgeschichte geseg- net. Nicht umsonst wollte Leopold Mozart, mit seinen Kin- dern Nannerl und Wolfgang in Dillingen 1768 nicht nur den Augsburger Bischof treffen, sondern auch den berühmten Organisten und Komponisten an der Kollegiatstiftskirche St. Peter, Josef Anton Laucher (1737-1813), dessen Tochter im Salzburger Dom unter der Leitung Mozarts als erste Vokal- solistin wirkte.

  • O Flos Colende Musica Sacra a Firenze XXIII Edizione È Con Grande Soddisfazione Che L’Opera Di S
    O FLOS COLENDE Musica Sacra a Firenze XXIII EDIZIONE È con grande soddisfazione che l’Opera di S. Maria del Fiore presenta la XXIII edizione della rassegna O flos colende - Musica sacra a Firenze nata nel 1997, anno in cui fu celebrato il VII centenario della fondazione della Cattedrale fiorentina. La prestigiosa rassegna è un punto di riferimento per i tantissimi appassionati e cultori che accorrono da Firenze e da tutta la regione ad ogni appuntamento concertistico. L’originalità dei programmi e l’eccellenza degli interpreti, sapientemente selezionati dal direttore artistico, hanno reso O flos colendeun evento unico nel suo genere, che mette in dialogo l’Opera con l’intera cittadinanza. Nei vari appuntamenti concertistici viene proposto un repertorio di grande fascino, in parte legato alla storia liturgica della nostra Cattedrale, spesso appartenente a secoli lontani, ma che sa parlare ancora oggi al cuore degli ascoltatori, sia quelli più consapevoli sia quelli meno preparati. Dal suggestivo concerto inaugurale dedicato all’Ufficio delle Tenebre in Francia, affidato a Les Talens Lyriques, un ensemble fra i più apprezzati a livello internazionale per il repertorio barocco, fino al concerto conclusivo affidato al celebreTölzer Knabenchor che proporrà un repertorio vario e gradevole per tutti, la rassegna si compone quest’anno di cinque appuntamenti concertistici in Cattedrale preceduti dal ciclo di quattro meditazioni quaresimali che il nostro Arcivescovo terrà nello splendido spazio del Battistero. Ringrazio Sua Em. Rev.ma il Cardinale Giuseppe Betori per il forte sostegno con cui segue l’iniziativa. Ringrazio il Proposto della Cattedrale e il Capitolo Metropolitano Fiorentino per la generosa disponibilità con la quale accolgono gli eventi musicali.

  • 14.7. Bis 9.9.18 „Krieg & Frieden – 1618-1648 / 1918“
    HERFORDER ORGELSOMMER 2018: 14.7. bis 9.9.18 „Krieg & Frieden – 1618-1648 / 1918“ Bezirksregierung Detmold Die Regierungspräsidentin Herforder Orgelsommer 2018 Detmold, im Mai 2018 Grußwort der Schirmherrin Sehr geehrte Konzertgäste aus nah und fern, liebe Freunde der Orgelmusik, gemeinsam mit Ihnen freue ich mich auf ein anspruchsvolles und kontrastreiches Konzertprogramm 2018, mit dem wir uns auf die immer wieder überraschende Klangvielfalt einlassen, die die Königin der Instrumente bietet. Münsterkantor Stefan Kagl stellt den diesjährigen Orgelsommer unter das Thema „Krieg und Frieden“ und erinnert uns damit an den Beginn des dreißigjährigen Krieges im Jahr 1618, an das Ende des ersten Weltkriegs vor einhundert Jahren – und an die Sehnsucht nach friedvollem Miteinander. Immer wieder haben Komponisten in ihren Werken das Grauen des Krieges und die Trauer um die Opfer ausgedrückt. Sie haben Bilder und Gefühle in Klang umgesetzt, die so über alle geographischen Grenzen und Sprachbarrieren hinweg verstanden werden und zu Frieden und Gemeinschaft aufrütteln, denn „Musik allein ist die Weltsprache und braucht nicht übersetzt zu werden, da spricht Seele zu Seele“ (Berthold Auerbach, 1812-1882). In dieser Tradition stehen auch die Kompositionen von Robert Maximilian Helmschrott und Johann Simon Kreuzpointner, die wir als Welturaufführungen im Herforder Orgelsommer 2018 erleben werden. Als Schirmherrin gilt mein besonderer Dank und Gruß allen Freunden und Förderern des Orgelfestivals. Ohne Sie, ohne Ihren großartigen Einsatz und Ihre finanzielle Unterstützung wäre ein solch ambitioniertes Kulturangebot, das weit über die Grenzen Ostwestfalen-Lippes hinaus wahrgenommen wird, nicht möglich. Wir sehen uns in Herford! Ihre Marianne Thomann-Stahl Grußwort des künstlerischen Leiters Liebe Konzertbesucherinnen und –besucher, Vor 400 Jahren begann der 30 jährige Krieg, den 1648 endlich ein sehnlichst herbeigesehnter Friedensschluß in Münster und Osnabrück beendete und der ein ausgeblutetes, verheertes Europa hinterließ.

  • The Renovation of the 72 Stop Klaisorgan
    The renovation of the 72 stop Klaisorgan The big organ in Hallgrímskirkja, built in Johannes’ Klais world-renowned Orgelbau in Bonn in Germany, is the largest musical instrument in Iceland. It was inaugurated on December 13th 1992 and celebrated its twentieth anniversary 2012. Its size, elegant design and sound coupled with the acoustics and splendid interior at Hallgrímskirkja have Hádegistónleikar á fimmtudögum kl. 12 made this grand organ a much sought after instrument all over the world. Lunchtime concerts on Thursdays at 12 noon The Hallgrímskirkja Friends of the Arts Society has from the organs inauguration organized an ever increasing number of organ concerts, especially during the summer when thousands of tourists attend the International Organ Summer, an annual festival from June until August. Each year, around 40 organ concerts are given in Hallgrímskirkja and advanced students at the Music Academy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland frequently receive lessons at this excellent instrument. Hardly a day goes by without Hallgrímskirkja’s Klais-organ being played. At the beginning of 2013 representatives from the Klais Orgelbau in Bonn arrived in Iceland to clean the organ and renew various pieces of hardware, worn due to much strain. During this process all 5.273 organ pipes had to be removed. This presented an excellent opportunity for modifications on the organ’s computer equipment, called for by new technology and increased demands. At the completion of this extensive project it can be said that the Klaisorgan in Hallgrímskirkja is as new, every pipe has been polished and retuned and the organs electronic operating system has been updated to the year 2013, with many fascinating new possibilities.
