A jubilee concert that celebrates Fürth with grand organ sounds

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, the Resurrection Church in Stadtpark Fürth will transform into a place full of sound, history, and festive excitement. Sirka Schwartz-Uppendieck brings the organ, the queen of instruments, to life and marks the 200th anniversary of the church with works by Fanny Mendelssohn, César Franck, Max Reger, Mélanie Bonis, Olivier Messiaen, Dorothea Hofmann, and Henri Mulet.

A sound space with character

The Resurrection Church is one of the oldest preserved churches in the city and is idyllically located in Stadtpark. This very place makes the concert experience special: historic architecture, fine acoustics, and a festive setting that amplifies the organ music with every phrase. The combination of neoclassical structure and romantic to modern organ literature creates a live atmosphere that captivates from the first minute.

Music between Romanticism, Modernity, and orchestral breadth

The program spans 200 years of music history. Fanny Mendelssohn brings melodic clarity and heartfelt tension, César Franck and Max Reger provide harmonic depth, while Olivier Messiaen and Henri Mulet fill the space with vibrant colors and powerful orchestration. This results in an evening concert that not only excites professionals but also captivates listeners seeking the emotional weight of great organ art.

Historical context with narrative power

Michael Herrschel accompanies the evening with recitational explanations and opens the view on the historical context of the jubilee. This connection of music and word adds an additional layer to the concert: not only the sound is in focus, but also the history of the house and the musical tradition that becomes audible here.

Why it is worth attending

Anyone looking for an extraordinary concert experience in Fürth will find more than a classical organ concert here. A festive evening with a great tension arc, finely balanced sound, and a program that impressively explores the range of the organ is expected. The audience experiences music, space, and occasion in a rare density – an event that should be experienced live.

In conclusion: This jubilee concert combines great organ art, a historical venue, and emotional radiance into an evening of special presence. Anyone seeking music with depth and atmosphere in Fürth should not miss this date.
