An organ evening full of brilliance, space, and great tonal colors
The 28th International Organ Days in St. Jacobi Göttingen will bring a high-profile evening with Levente Kuzma to the gallery of the traditional church on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 18:00. The concert is part of the Friday music series and combines spiritual spatial effects, virtuous organ culture, and the special sound spectrum of the Ott-Schmid organ.
The Ott organ as a festive sound body
With 68 stops and 4,806 pipes, the organ of St. Jacobi Church is one of the largest instruments in Lower Saxony. Its installation, built by Paul Ott in 1966 and fundamentally renewed by Siegfried Schmid in 2006/07, unfolds an impressive live atmosphere in the Gothic hall church. The three Spanish trumpets, which fill the space with radiant directness and give each chord an extraordinary presence, are particularly striking.
Levente Kuzma: Precision, stylistic sensitivity, and international experience
Levente Kuzma has earned a solid place in the international organ scene with concerts in Europe, the USA, and Japan. The Hungarian organist is known as a stylistically versatile interpreter, connecting Baroque, Romantic, and Modern music with clear orchestration and confident conducting across the manuals and pedal. His profile stands for expertise, musical tension, and a stage performance that consistently explores the possibilities of the instrument.
Program between Bach, Liszt, and French color art
The evening promises a program that makes the entire range of organ music audible: works by Bach, Liszt, Guilmant, Kodály, and Mulet form a dramaturgy between contemplative depth and radiant energy. Such concert evenings unfold a special effect, especially in St. Jacobi, where acoustics, architecture, and color stops merge into a dense concert experience.
A space with history and radiance
St. Jacobi Church shapes Göttingen's old town not only as a landmark but also as a vibrant place for church music and cultural encounters. The 72-meter-high tower, the historical substance, and the well-known Friday music create a framework in which organ sound is not only heard but physically experienced. For visitors, this results in an evening that combines concentration, atmosphere, and great sonic emotion.
Conclusion: Those who experience the 28th International Organ Days live will enjoy an evening of brilliant organ art, international class, and the unique acoustics of St. Jacobi. An event for all who wish to experience monumental church music and rare sound colors in their original form.
