A summer evening full of sound magnificence in Munich's Cathedral
When Ondřej Valenta brings the organ to life on Friday, July 17, 2026, in the Munich Cathedral of Our Lady, delicate virtuosity meets the impressive acoustics of one of the city's most significant sacred buildings. The concert is part of the Summer Organ Concerts 2026 and promises an intense live experience between sacred dignity, musical precision, and great spatial effects.
Great organ, great impact
The Cathedral is perfect for organ music: The long reverberation, the majestic room height, and the colorful orchestration of the Seifert organ create that blend of transparency and power which makes a good organ concert unforgettable. Ondřej Valenta, who works as an organist and educator in Prague, brings with him international experience and stylistic range.
A program with tradition and depth
According to the organizer, the evening is dedicated to works by Bach, Smart, Hollins, Dvořák, and Smetana. It is exactly this range that creates the attraction: Baroque architecture, romantic sound colors, and Czech musical language merge to create a concert evening that appeals not only to experts but also to curious classical music fans. The organ unfolds its full spectrum, from delicate lines to powerful sound waves.
The Munich Cathedral as a concert venue
The Cathedral of Our Lady is not just a backdrop, but a player. In the interplay of light, stone, and sound, a special atmosphere for the audience arises, which can appear almost meditative, especially at organ concerts. The Summer Organ Concerts have enjoyed a fixed place in the Munich cultural calendar for years and attract an audience that appreciates concentrated listening and architectural atmosphere.
