Vom 20. bis 22. März (Freitag bis Sonntag) wird er an zehn Orgeln in neun Städten und Gemeinden beiderseits der Grenze spielen. Die jeweils etwa einstündigen Konzerte können individuell auf eigene Faust besucht werden – oder aber im Rahmen von begleiteten Radtouren\, die an den drei Tagen von Ort zu Ort (bis auf eine Ausnahme) führen. \nIn Kirchen im westlichen Münsterland\, in der Grafschaft Bentheim und den benachbarten niederländischen Gemeinden existieren Orgeln\, die teils von renommierten Orgelbauern gefertigt worden sind. Zehn dieser Instrumente wird Matthias Grünert auf Einladung der grenzüberschreitend tätigen Kirchenmusikerin und Chorleiterin Marion Röber bespielen. Die Programme sind auf die Orgeln und ihre klanglichen Charakteristika abgestimmt. \nMatthias Grünert wurde im Jahre 2004 zum ersten Kantor der wiederaufgebauten Dresdner Frauenkirche berufen. Im Januar 2005 trat er das Amt an. Seitdem ist er künstlerisch verantwortlich für die gesamte Kirchenmusik in dem wiedererbauten Barockbau. Er gründete den Chor der Frauenkirche und den Kammerchor der Frauenkirche\, die er beide zu einer festen Größe in der Kulturlandschaft Mitteldeutschlands etablierte. Als Organist ist er darüber hinaus regelmäßig in ganz Deutschland mit mehrtägigen Konzerttouren unterwegs. \nDie Orgeltour in der Euregio beginnt am 20. März (Freitag). Start der Radtour ist um 15.45 Uhr in Gronau an der St.-Antonius-Kirche. Von dort geht es nach Ochtrup\, wo das erste Konzert um 17 Uhr in der Evangelischen Kirche beginnt. Die Radfahrer fahren danach über eine andere Route zurück nach Gronau\, wo ab 19 Uhr das Konzert in der St.-Antonius-Kirche stattfindet.  \nAm 21. März starten die Fietser um 10.30 Uhr in Neuenhaus in der Grafschaft Bentheim. Zunächst geht es über die Grenze nach Ootmarsum. Dort spielt Grünert ab 12 Uhr in der Simon en Judaskerk. Nächste Station ist Lage\, wo um 14 Uhr die Orgel in der Reformierten Kirche erklingen wird. Die Radler machen sich anschließend auf nach Hoogstede\, wo Matthias Grünert um 16 Uhr in der Altreformierten Kirche spielen wird. Danach geht es nach Neuenhaus. Dort beginnt um 18 Uhr in der Reformierten Kirche das Abschlusskonzert des Tages. \nAm 22. März treffen sich die Radfahrer um 9.45 Uhr in Haaksbergen. Von dort aus geht es nach Eibergen. Dort wird Matthias Grünert ab 11 Uhr in der Oude Matthäuskerk die Orgel ertönen lassen. Anschließend kehren die Radler zurück nach Haaksbergen. Dort steht ab 14.30 Uhr ein Wandelkonzert an\, das in der Pancratiuskerk beginnt und fortgesetzt wird in der Protestantse Kerk. Das letzte Konzert der Orgelreihe wird aus Zeitgründen nicht mit dem Fahrrad angefahren. Es beginnt nämlich schon um 17.30 Uhr in der Ev. Christuskirche Ahaus. \nDie  letzten Konzerte am Freitag und Sonnabend finden an den Ausgangspunkten der Radtouren statt\, so dass von dort die individuelle Heimreise angetreten werden kann. Am Sonntag endet die Radtour am Startpunkt Haaksbergen. Von dort können die Interessierten per Auto nach Ahaus fahren. \n  \nDie Teilnahme an den Konzerten sowie an den Radtouren unter Leitung von Martin Borck ist kostenlos. Es wird allerdings um Spenden gebeten. Die Plätze für die Radtouren sind begrenzt. Anmeldungen hierfür werden unter orgel-radtour@gmx.de entgegengenommen. Bitte dabei neben Namen\, Adresse und Telefonnummer auch verbindlich die gewünschten Teilnahmetage angeben. \nDas Projekt „Zehn Orgeln an drei Tagen“ wird durch das Interreg-Programm Deutschland-Nederland sowie seinen Programmpartnern ermöglicht und von der Europäischen Union (EU) kofinanziert. \nFotos unter matthias-gruenert.de URL:https://gronau-inside.de/en/veranstaltung/radtouren-fuehren-zu-konzertorten-zehn-orgeln-in-der-euregio LOCATION:St. Antonius Kirche\, Neustraße 13\, Gronau\, 48599 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gronau-inside.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Matthias_Gruenert1_copyright-Susann-Hehnen.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Martin Borck":MAILTO:radtour@gmx.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260320T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260320T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T173947 CREATED:20250723T065429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251124T092524Z UID:10004360-1774036800-1774036800@gronau-inside.de SUMMARY:Kings of Floyd DESCRIPTION:Dark Side Tour 2026\nKings Of Floyd: An unforgettable tribute to Pink Floyd returns! \nThe celebrated masters of the Pink Floyd tribute band scene\, Kings Of Floyd\, are back and once again bringing the legendary legacy of the progressive rock icons to the stage.

For the first time\, Gum Bucket also presents an acoustic song\, which will show a new\, intimate facet of the band live. \nThe release concert offers the opportunity to experience the new songs for the first time in full length and with the usual live energy of Gum Bucket. The band will be supported by their friends Bugs in a Trap from Gescher\, who will open the evening.\nCloser was produced in the Luna recording studio in Lüdinghausen; accompanying studio recordings by a photographer friend can be found in the booklet. The album will also be released on vinyl for the first time – another highlight that will be duly celebrated at the release concert.\nThe evening at Musikclub Turbine promises honest\, powerful rock\, new songs\, emotional moments and an intense exchange between band and audience – closer than ever before. \nMusikclub Turbine\nDate: 28.03.2026\nAdmission: 19:00\nStart: 20:00\nVVK: 12\,-€\nAK: 15\,-€\nStanding room – free choice of seats URL:https://gronau-inside.de/en/veranstaltung/gum-bucket-album-release-concert LOCATION:Musikclub Turbine\, Udo-Lindenberg-Platz 1\, Gronau\, NRW\, 48599\, Deutschland CATEGORIES:Music,rock'n'pop museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gronau-inside.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gum-Bucket.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="rock'n'popmuseum Gronau GmbH":MAILTO:info@rock-popmuseum.de END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
