The next concert in the OrgelPunkt12 series will take place on Thursday, August 18th at 12 noon in the Castle Church in Wittenberg. The Japanese organist Izumi Ikeda, who wants his program to be understood as a prayer for peace in the Ukraine, plays the historical Ladegast organ. Izumi Ikeda plays two works by the German organist Heinz Wunderlich (1919-2012), with whom he studied himself: the 3rd movement of the Sonata Tremolanda Hiroshima, which was composed on the occasion of the two national days of mourning in Germany and Japan, and the Partita about the Advent song "Macht hoch die Tür", which was composed for Christmas 1946 "for a happy future". In addition, the fantasy and fugue on "How beautiful the morning star shines" by Max Reger (1837-1916) will be performed.
Admission is free, but a donation is requested at the exit.
