International Organ Days Zurich 2024

The Kuhn organ at the Tonhalle Zurich will present itself in many facets at Whitsun 2024.

At Whitsun this year, everything will once again revolve around the organ. In addition to numerous organ concerts, we will be presenting various events centred around our instrument during the day.

Our focus artist Iveta Apkalna will be performing in dialogue with the orchestra. Parisian improvisation star Thierry Escaich will provide dazzling cinema organ sounds. In addition, national and international organists will present further solo highlights and chamber music with organ. Just how many colours and facets the magnificent Kuhn organ at the Tonhalle Zurich has to offer: This can be experienced at the International Organ Days 2024.

Saturday 18 May

At the opening concert with Dima Slobodeniouk, you will hear works by Jongen and Berlioz. Our focus artist Iveta Apkalna will be at the organ console that evening.
