Organ sound with a pulling effect: WIND - POWER - WORK in Regensburg
On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the Holy Trinity Church in Regensburg will transform into a resonance chamber for great organ music. The second concert of the organ week at the Bach Organ begins at 8 PM and features Nicolas Berndt from Naumburg at the Ahrend Organ, which serves as the musical center of the evening.
When wind becomes sound and power becomes music
The title WIND - POWER - WORK describes the journey from the first airflow to the completed musical form. In the organ, wind is transformed into sound through precise mechanics, registration, and the direction of the player. The live atmosphere of the Holy Trinity Church makes this process immediately tangible: Deep registers can set the space in motion, while bright voices and finely graduated dynamics create a delicate sound image.
Nicolas Berndt at the Ahrend Organ
Nicolas Berndt will design Organ Concert II with works from several periods of organ music. The program includes Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata in D major BWV 912 and the Chaconne in d minor BWV 1004 in an organ arrangement by Nicolas Berndt. The program is complemented by music from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger, and Catharine Kontz.
Between Baroque, Romanticism, and modern timbre
The dramaturgy connects Baroque formal power with Romantic sound language and different orchestration possibilities. Bach's Toccata and Chaconne meet Mozart's Fantasy in f minor KV 608 as well as other works that explore the color richness of the organ. For the audience, a concert evening filled with contrasts, powerful plenum, transparent voices, and acoustics that make every registration change perceptible is created.
A concert experience in the old town of Regensburg
The Holy Trinity Church is located in the center of the Regensburg old town in the pedestrian zone between Bismarckplatz and Neupfarrplatz. There are no parking spaces directly at the church; parking garages at Bismarckplatz or Arnulfsplatz are recommended. The venue is accessible for wheelchair users via a ramp for two steps during concerts.
Conclusion: Experience organ music live
WIND - POWER - WORK Concert II promises a concentrated evening full of historical sound language, musical precision, and impressive stage performance at the Bach Organ. Anyone who wants to experience organ music between Bach, Mozart, and Romantic sound richness directly will find a special concert venue at the Holy Trinity Church. Admission is free.
