A summer evening full of organ magic at St. Konrad
On July 26, 2026, the church of St. Konrad in Landshut opens its doors for a special organ improvisation concert with Prof. Franz Josef Stoiber from Regensburg. The internationally renowned cathedral organist highlights the sound diversity of the organ in a concert that focuses on tension, spatial effects, and spontaneous musical imagination.
Great organ art meets direct live atmosphere
St. Konrad will transform into a resonance space for finest church music and lively improvisation on this Sunday afternoon. The concert is part of a new organ concert series in Landshut that will attract regionally renowned artists to the Klais organ starting in 2026. This is where the special unfolds: no standardized program, but a moment that develops in the space and takes shape in front of the audience's ears.
Franz Josef Stoiber: Experience, style, and artistic authority
Franz Josef Stoiber is one of the defining voices of the southern German organ scene. According to his official biography, he studied classical philology and history in Regensburg as well as church music, music theory, and organ in Würzburg, Stuttgart, and Vienna. In 1996, he was appointed cathedral organist at Regensburg Cathedral, and since 2023, he has been the rector of HfKM Regensburg again. His publications, concerts, and improvisations underline a long, authoritative career between liturgy, concert hall, and academic teaching.
The sound of the Klais organ in the space
The organ built by Orgelbau Klais in St. Konrad in 2022 is at the center of the series.
