In over 100 concerts and events as part of the Westphalian Organ Festival, the organ (as an intangible cultural heritage) and organ music will take center stage this weekend. This is also the case in Gronau:
🎼 On Saturday at 6 p.m., the Rheine Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Luis Andrade, will perform at the Evangelical City Church in Gronau. Titled “Organ Symphony,” the program will feature Josef Gabriel Rheinberger’s Romantic Concerto in F major for organ and orchestra, with Dr. Tamás Szőcs as the organ soloist.
Tickets are still available at our tourist information office or at the box office.
