Organ music in Amberg: 14th season with international stars starts!

The organ music in Amberg has season again! On July 5, 2025, the 14th edition of the Amberg organ music series begins in the school church Amberg. The concert series is very popular and is an integral part of the cultural landscape in the region. Every Saturday at 12 noon, visitors are invited to enjoy 30 minutes of beautiful organ music, while the hustle and bustle of everyday life is forgotten for a brief moment. This also explains the motto of the series: "Stop for a moment and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at 30 minutes of organ music in the school church".

The opening event becomes very special: On the first Saturday, Thomas Prechtl and Anna Doering play on two clarinets and Vinzenz Doering on the organ works by great composers such as Bach, Mozart, Dvořák, Mangani and Lefébure-Wély. The concert series comprises a total of 12 events that take place by September 20. Amberg has treated itself to a real treat for the opening event.

renowned artists and diverse programs

The concerts not only offer organ sounds, but also a colorful mix of other solo instruments. In the course of the season, two bassoons are used, among other things, which will enrich the final concert. Entry to all concerts is free, but the organizers are happy about donations. These flow to the association "Project Orgel St. Martin e.V." To buy a sonorous organ for the Gothic indoor church of St. Martin.

organizers of the series are the cultural department of the city of Amberg, the association Project Organe St. Martin and the parish. The whole thing is supported by VR-Bank Amberg-Sulzbach eG, which has made an important contribution to financing. So if you want to do something for the culture in Amberg, this is the place for you!
