French Organ Art on Sunday Morning: Pleins Jeux! at the Resurrection Church
With the organ matinee Pleins Jeux!, the Resurrection Church in Fürth opens a sonic window to French music history on December 6, 2026. Sirka Schwartz-Uppendieck takes the audience on a musical journey from the Baroque to modern times, presenting works by French female composers in the church's unique acoustics.
A Program Full of Colors, Contours, and Elegance
At the center is the French-Romantic tuned Späth organ of the Resurrection Church, which with its rich tonal colors is perfectly suited for this repertoire. Works by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Cécile Chaminade, Mélanie Bonis, Nadia Boulanger, Hedwige Chrétien, Germaine Labole, and Elsa Barraine will be performed. The selection spans the range from Baroque clarity to late Romantic expressiveness.
A Concert with Profile and Attitude
Sirka Schwartz-Uppendieck has been a defining voice for music by female composers for many years. Her artistic work includes over 400 performed works by women from several centuries. Her premiere work and the Fürth concerts featuring female composers have made her well-known far beyond the city limits. This matinee stands not only for organ music but also for culturally and historically thoughtful programming with a distinct signature.
The Space Resonates
The Resurrection Church in the city park offers ideal conditions for an organ concert: historic atmosphere, strong acoustics, and proximity to the Fürth City Park shape the live experience. Michael Herrschel introduces the works, providing additional narrative depth to the morning. Thus, a concert visit is created that uniquely connects sound, context, and space.
Conclusion: A Morning for Organ Fans and Discoverers
Pleins Jeux! promises a focused, colorful organ matinee with clear artistic intent, strong program selection, and free admission. Anyone wanting to experience French organ music, a spiritual concert atmosphere, and the distinctive style of a prominent interpreter should mark this date in Fürth and be there live.
