Organ three days in the Euroregion

Almost every church has an organ, the so-called queen of instruments. In the western Münsterland and neighboring Dutch congregations there are a number of examples made by renowned organ builders. The cantor of the Frauenkirche in Dresden, Matthias Grünert, will play ten of these instruments at the invitation of church musician and choir director Marion Röber. The concerts, each lasting just under an hour, can be attended individually - or as part of guided bicycle tours that lead from church to church over three days.
