A Musical Journey Through the World of Scales
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Suhl Kreuzkirche will transform into a resonance space for colorful organ music. Clemens Lucke will guide the audience through the scales of an octave starting at 6:00 PM – fitting the motto Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Si-Do.
Baroque Sound Meets Musical Dramaturgy
At the center is the baroque Eilert-Köhler organ of the Kreuzkirche. The program includes works by Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, among others. The order of the pieces traverses the tonal framework of an octave, combining musical structure with immediately tangible sound color.
Organ Sound with Historical Depth
The concert dramaturgy makes audible how differently composers work with registration, counterpoint, dynamics, and harmonic tension. Between clearly defined polyphony, festive orchestration, and subtle romantic sound shades, an atmospheric journey through several epochs of European music history emerges.
Clemens Lucke: Cantor, Organist, and Sound Designer
Clemens Lucke has been the cantor of the Petrikirche Freiberg since 2013, whose musical profile is shaped by the Silbermann organ from 1735. Since 2014, he has also served as vice president of the Gottfried-Silbermann-Society. In addition to classical organ music, he is devoted to accompanying silent films and can regularly be experienced at the historical Welte cinema organ from 1931 at the Grassi Museum Leipzig.
A Special Evening in the Suhl Organ Summer
The concert marks the conclusion of this year's Suhl Organ Summer. The historic church, the characteristic acoustics, and the colorful registration of the Eilert-Köhler organ create a concentrated live atmosphere for all who wish to not only hear organ music but to experience its spatial effect.
Conclusion: Music in Its Full Sonic Movement
The audience can expect a classic organ concert with a clear programmatic idea, significant works, and an organist with proven experience in historical and contemporary concert practice. Anyone wishing to experience the sound world of Bach, Mozart, Pachelbel, and Mendelssohn in an extraordinary church space should enjoy this concert evening live in Suhl.
