Organ music at Konzerthaus Berlin
Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin — Großer Saal
About the Event
The Jehmlich organ in the Great Hall and concerts featuring the queen of instruments.
It bears the impressive opus number 1035 and has been in our Great Hall since the concert hall opened in 1984: the organ from the Dresden‐based Jehmlich company. As one of Berlin's most prestigious organs, it has 74 stops spread across four manuals and pedals, enabling a wealth of different timbres and an enormous stylistic range of repertoire from Baroque to modern. 5811 individual pipes can be operated in 256 combinations using a setter system that was renewed in 1994.
A queen naturally has her entourage, our so‐called “princess.” The mobile, two‐manual small organ with 12 stops was also built by Jehmlich. It is used primarily for the “Organo con stromenti” chamber music evenings in the Small Hall, but also for organ presentations for children.
