Organ Sounds as a Musical Break in St. Martin
On Saturday, May 8, 2027, the organ matinee "Quarter to Twelve" invites you to the impressive Stiftsbasilika St. Martin in Landshut. From 11:45 AM, the Simon organ transforms for 15 minutes into a powerful sound panorama, offering the audience a concentrated musical break in the midst of everyday life.
Great Sound in a Short Format
The matinee connects historical sacred architecture with the expressive color palette of organ music. At the Simon organ with four manuals and 77 stops, transparent flute tones, bright mixtures, and majestic tutti arise, unfolding in the unique acoustics of the basilica far beyond the church nave.
From Bach to Modernity
The repertoire of the concert series ranges from the intricate organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach to modern compositions. Changing guest organists and the cathedral organist Jeni Böhm set different musical accents. Precise registration, rhythmic synchronization, and sensitive conducting at the console make each event an independent concert experience.
Music Under Historical Architecture
The Stiftsbasilika St. Martin provides an extraordinary setting for the organ matinee. The monumental church space enhances the reverberation and allows individual voices of the orchestration to emerge vividly. This creates a live atmosphere between meditative calm, mental concentration, and sonic force.
Introduction on Selected Dates
On the first Saturday of the month, the matinee is traditionally complemented by an introductory talk on the organ gallery. Visitors receive insights into the instrument, interpretation, and the specifics of the respective program. For the date on May 8, the 15-minute organ music is the focal point.
The conclusion: “Quarter to Twelve” offers an intense musical experience without taking up much time. Those who want to experience organ music, sacred spaces, and extraordinary sound colors live will find an impressive musical break in St. Martin. Admission is free, donations to support church music are welcome.
