Normally, the audience in the nave cannot see the organist playing in the gallery. However, Johannes Berger, artistic director of the Baroque orchestra Concerto München and principal organist of the Heldenorgel Kufstein, is bringing his own chest organ from the Rosenheim organ manufacturer Gartner for the concert with the Orchestra La Scintilla. This will allow Berger to perform some works in the choir room in the middle of the orchestra, such as Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for Violin and Strings in G minor. Ada Pesch, concertmaster of the Zurich Orchestra La Scintilla, will play the virtuoso solo part here and compete musically with the organ.
Berger will play the Goll organ in the works for solo organ, such as the powerful Toccata and Fugue in D major, BWV 540, and the chorale prelude to “Allein Gott in der Höhe sei Ehr” (Alone to God in the Highest be Glory)( (BWV 664).
Jean-Philippe Rameau’s orchestral suite from the ballet opera “Pygmalion” tells the story of a sculptor who falls in love with a one of his own creations. Cupid brings her to life, and his graces teach her to dance. In the “Pygmalion” suite, the Orchestra La Scintilla conveys this joie de vivre.

Seat-by-seat advance ticket sales will open on October 18, 2025.
