You can look forward to a fascinating program that brings out the full range and expressive power of the large Jehmlich organ in the Kreuzkirche. Holger Gehring, born in Bielefeld in 1969, is a luminary of church music. His extensive training took him to renowned music academies in Lübeck, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Basel, where he studied with greats such as Martin Haselböck, Jon Laukvik and Daniel Roth. He has also won prizes at several national and international organ competitions.

Holger Gehring has been a cross organist since 2004 and has had a significant influence on the Dresden music scene. Since 2017, he has also been Custos of the concert hall organ of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra in the Kulturpalast. In addition to his busy concert schedule as an organist and harpsichordist, he is a lecturer at the Dresden State Academy of Music and the Dresden Academy of Church Music and artistic director of the castle concerts in Reinhardtsgrimma. His work is complemented by publications and numerous CD, radio and television recordings.

Experience Holger Gehring's masterful performance, beginning with the festive Allegro maestoso from Edward Elgar's impressive Organ Sonata in G major op. 28. He then presents the virtuoso mastery of Johann Gottlob Schneider's Theme with Variations in A major, which showcases the tonal diversity of the organ in a unique way. The crowning finale is César Franck's monumental Grande Pièce Symphonique op. 17, a masterpiece of romantic organ music that will inspire you with its emotional depth and orchestral sonority.

Don't miss this special concert experience and enjoy an afternoon full of inspiring music in the impressive atmosphere of the Kreuzkirche. We look forward to your visit!
