Summer concert with Klaus V. Jensen, organ. Hear three very different organs within an hour.

 

Tuesday, 15 July at 5 p.m.
Ringkøbing Church. Admission: DKK 60 (free for young people under 25).
The concert begins in the church, where Klaus V. Jensen will play the church's two organs, and halfway through the concert, everyone will move to the chapel in the churchyard.


About the organs:
An organ is not just an organ. At this concert, concertgoers will experience the different timbres and moods from the clear and colourful universe of the Baroque to the dark and warm sounds of Romanticism to the more sober and roaring ideal of the post-war period. The organist selects music that highlights the distinctive characteristics of each organ.
Ringkøbing Church has two organs:
The main organ dates from 1974 and was built by Th. Frobebius & Sønner.
The Baroque organ has a facade that was built in 1633. Behind this, organ builder Mads Kjersgaard reconstructed the original organ in 2019, restoring it to how it might have looked and sounded at the time.
Ringkøbing Chapel houses Ringkøbing Church's former organ. It is a romantic instrument with organ pipes and other organ parts dating back to 1861.
