When the queen of instruments meets a radiant trumpet with the organ, you can look forward to heavenly fanfares - especially when Immanuel Richter, principal trumpeter of the Basel Symphony Orchestra, plays the instrument. George Frideric Handel was also aware of the royal splendour of the trumpet. That is why he gave her an important role in his "Ode to Queen Anne's Birthday". "Eternal source of light divine" is the name of the opening aria that will be heard in St. Jakob's Church. Baroque concertos by Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Wilhelm Hertel show the virtuosity of the instrument. Rudolf Lutz will not only imitate an entire orchestra on the organ, but will also improvise freely between works. The audience is involved.
