Anniversary in St. Johannes: A terrific organ concert for Bottrop!

Bottrop-Kirchhellen, Deutschland - In the Bottrop-Kirchhellen, the impressive organ expansion in St. Johannes is celebrated 20 years after its inauguration. In 2004, over 1000 new pipes were integrated into the Breil organ to meet the acoustic needs of the church space. Cantor Detlef Steinbrenner is reminiscent of this project, which could be realized thanks to a successful fundraising under the direction of the then pastor Heinrich Bishop. The dream of a volume organ took shape when the municipality began planning for the expansion in 2001.

In order to appreciate the history of the extraordinary instrument, Steinbrenner invites you to an anniversary concert in the parish church on Sunday, October 27, at 6 p.m. You can hear masterpieces by Bach, Mendelssohn and many others. Admission is free, but donations are welcome to support the music. This event promises to celebrate both the spirit of the past and to secure the future of organ music in St. Johannes, as reported on www.waz.de .
