4th Chur Organ Concert 2024

Recital Christoph Schönfelder, St. Gallen

It was curious to see who would win the race for the prestigious position of organist at St.Gallen Cathedral. It was the young Christoph Schönfelder, who came from Landshut. He convinces not only with his somnambulistically assured literary playing, but also as a gifted improviser. Last but not least, Schönfelder is a sought-after pedagogue. With his election to St.Gallen, he moved from the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich to the Dözesane Kirchenmusikschule St.Gallen. The highlight of his Chur concert will be the two movements from Marcel Dupré's "Symphony Passion", as well as the classic "Prélude et fugue sur le nom d'Alain" by Maurice Duruflé. Schönfelder also plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Oskar Sigmund.

Admission is free, a collection will be charged.
