Arp-Schnitger-Festival IV: Juwel in neuem Glanz

In the organizer's words:

Program:
Georg Böhm: Praeludium, Fuga & Postludium in G minor
Dieterich Buxtehude: Te Deum laudamus BuxWV 218
Johann Sebastian Bach: Partita diversa sopra "Ach, was soll ich Sünder machen" BWV 770, Concerto in D minor BWV 596 (after Vivaldi RV 565), Aria in F major BWV 587 (after François Couperin) and Passacaglia in C minor BWV 582

The history of the organ in Otterndorf dates back to the Renaissance. In 1741/42, Dietrich Christoph Gloger rebuilt the organ and reused well-preserved material in the tradition of North German organ builders. Pipes from 1553 can still be found in the instrument today. After years in a poor condition, the organ received a comprehensive restoration by the Ahrend workshop (Leer) from 2023. Since its reopening on October 20, 2024, Otterndorf has been justifiably proud of this jewel once again. And the fact that an artist like the American organist Nathan Laube, who has already performed at the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Walt Disney Concert Hall Los Angeles, the Sejong Center Seoul, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and St. Paul's Cathedral London, accepted our invitation to Otterndorf without hesitation speaks for itself, doesn't it?
