A master of grand lines
Naji Hakim, born in Beirut in 1955, is among the most prominent organists and composers of his generation. He studied in Paris, received seven first prizes, and was initially the organist at Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre before succeeding Olivier Messiaen at the church of La Trinité from 1993 to 2008. His works and performances are documented internationally, with a repertoire ranging from solo organ to chamber music to orchestral forms.

Sound architecture with tension
For Munich, this is not a routine evening, but a precisely set finale of the summer series. According to the event announcement, the program includes works and improvisations by Naji Hakim; additionally, the event overview refers to the great French cathedral tradition from which Hakim draws. At the Frauenkirche, this language unfolds particularly impressively: clear articulation, colorful registers, dynamic arcs, and an orchestration of the pipes that draws the space as if with light.
