Sounding nights: Neustadt's organ summer with Weckmann and young talents

Neustadt. The Neustadter organ summer is in full swing and is very popular with the music lovers of the region. This year the event is all about young talents and the fascinating "old music". Particularly noteworthy is the varied program that includes classic masterpieces and innovative compositions.

The meaning of the old music

The idea of "old music" is not only a nostalgic review of the past, but also offers a valuable opportunity to make less known works accessible to a wide audience. On Saturday, August 3, the “Matthias Weckmann 350” concert will take place in the collegiate church. Here the music of the famous Hamburg organist Matthias Weckmann is presented, who shaped the musical landscape of his time 350 years ago. This shows how alive and relevant historical music can still be today.

talented young musicians

Another highlight of the organ summer will be the concert "Young Talents III" on Sunday, August 4th. The two aspiring organists Sarah Proske and Maja Vollstedt from Lübeck present a diverse program that ranges from traditional compositions to modern improvisations. This young generation of musicians is not only trained as a church musician, but also as a creative composer and improvisers, which is an exciting development in the music landscape.
