About

The Romanesque monastery church in Alpirsbach is no place for an organ. But in order to fill the space with organ music, a spectacular solution was found. By means of air cushions, the instrument can be moved and be played from different positions in the Church. Its regular position is in the southern transept, where it can accompany sacred services.

Thanks to the air cushions, the organ can also be moved to the optimal “Solo-concert position": it hovers in the crossing, where it is then turned 90° so that it can be heard even to the last row of seats. Its “Orchestra-concert position" is located on the edge of the nave, where the instrument is turned 50°. Thus it sounds from the length of the nave and allows the orchestra and/or choir enough room to perform.

The renowned organist Jürgen Essl presents the possibilties of the instrument with works by Bach and César Franck, and with his own improvisations.
