The organ as a stage for great emotions
Ruben Sturm is one of the prominent organists of his generation. According to his official biography, he studied church music and artistic organ playing in Frankfurt am Main, won first prize in the prestigious organ improvisation in worship in 2008, and took on the position of cathedral organist in Munich in 2022. Since then, he has been shaping the artistic direction of the summer organ concerts and working with the impressive cathedral organ with 131 stops and about 10,000 pipes. This evening derives its tension precisely from repertoire, space, and resonance. ([rubensturm.de](https://www.rubensturm.de/vita/))
Baroque meets Romanticism, precision meets expansiveness
The program featuring composers such as Kerll, Rheinberger, Reger, and Vierne promises a journey through various styles and sound colors. Those who love organ music will not only experience liturgical depth but also orchestral expansiveness, finely tuned registration, and that majestic acoustics for which the Munich Cathedral is famous. In the Frauenkirche, this creates a concert experience that does not just play the music but writes it into the space.
