"OrgelPunkt12" with Joachim Thoms (Berlin) and his program

"Labyrinth & Pleasure Garden"

This program is an improvisation concert inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s *Organ Mass*. Depending on the specific organ, the style remains within the Baroque and early Romantic periods or expands to include German and French Romanticism, Impressionism, and even the style of Messiaen. There are no limits to the variety of forms—ranging from preludes, fugues, and various chorale settings to fantasias and even symphonic structures.

Elector Friedrich the Wise had the palace with the chapel demolished and his new residential palace with a more spacious palace church built on the site. You can find out more about the story here.
