A festive organ evening that transforms Fürth into sound
With Seraphim: Symphony Concert, Sirka Schwartz-Uppendieck sets a brilliant highlight of the organ festival The Queen Congratulates! on November 20, 2026 at the Resurrection Church Fürth. The program combines romantic organ artistry, festive fanfares, and a world premiere into a concert experience that makes the historic church a resonant sound space.
Romanticism meets the present
At the center is Josef Gabriel Rheinberger's grand organ concerto op. 177, whose lush melody and dramatic expanse shine anew in a special arrangement for organ and solo instrumentation. According to the program, Sirka Schwartz-Uppendieck and the Farrenc Ensemble will perform with Christoph Braun and Andreas Wagenschwanz on trumpet, Ludwig Seyfarth on horn, Simon Maurer on trombone, and Lidia Rubio on tuba. This creates an impressive symbiosis of orchestral colors, organ brilliance, and precise ensemble synchronization.
An anniversary that becomes audible
The concert is closely linked to the 200th anniversary of the Resurrection Church Fürth. In this context, works by Frieda Fronmüller will also be performed, whose birthday is celebrated for the 125th time in 2026. This gives the program additional historical depth: regional music history, spiritual architecture, and contemporary concert dramaturgy intertwine here.
The world premiere as an electric moment
The audience can especially look forward to Uwe Strübing's new Seraphim Fantasy The Burning Ones, which is announced as a world premiere with Michael Herrschel reciting. This moment provides the evening with that tension that makes live music unmistakable: a room full of anticipation, a first note, a collective pause.
Acoustics, atmosphere, performance
The Resurrection Church in the city park is one of the oldest preserved churches in Fürth and offers a charming setting for sacred music with its location on Nürnberger Straße. The acoustics of a church, the sight lines in the historic interior, and the proximity to the audience create the live atmosphere that makes organ concerts so intense. Here, sound colors, spatial effects, and emotional presence meet in close quarters.
Conclusion: An evening for listeners with open ears
Seraphim: Symphony Concert promises a multifaceted concert experience between late romanticism, anniversary sounds, and a world premiere. Those who love grand organ music, powerful brass colors, and spiritual concert dramaturgy will experience an evening in Fürth that resonates long after. Be there live and feel the special atmosphere in the Resurrection Church yourself.
