Concert for Organ and Piano
Charel Breisch
In the framework of Dodeka, 12 Works for 12 Cantons
- –
As part of Dodeka, Charel Breisch presents a concert for piano and organ in the St. Lawrence Church in Diekirch. Centred on the notion of fantasy, the program interweaves improvisations with works by composers ranging from Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Alternating between the intimate sonorities of the piano and the expansive acoustics of the church's pipe organ, Charel Breisch creates an evolving musical landscape in which historical repertoire and improvisation inform one another.
The concert takes place in the Old St. Lawrence Church, one of Diekirch's oldest landmarks. Dating back to the medieval period and long associated with the town's religious and cultural life, the church today serves as a venue for concerts and houses a pipe organ built by the German workshop Romanus Seifert & Sohn in 1999.
