Festive organ music and farewell to Klaus Geitner in the Ascension Church
The Ascension Church in Munich-Sendling is preparing for a contemplative and musical Christmas season. As part of the concert series "Organ music at candlelight", the church will be illuminated by an atmospheric candlelight on Saturday, December 21st. The Orgelduo 4 & 4 with Gundula Kretschmar and Walter Erdt then presents compositions about well -known Christmas carols for organ on four hands and feet, including works by Julius Schneider and Ralf Bölting, while Gabi Gerlach from Bavarian Radio speaks the words, like Wochenanzeiger.de reported.
The 26th December 26th, when the church music director Klaus Geitner takes over the musical direction of the cantatas service, is particularly noteworthy. Geitner, who has been an organist for 42 years, says goodbye to a festive program that includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers. On this occasion, the 1st cantata "Jauchzet frohlocket, at the priceet of the days" from the Christmas Oratorio of Bach in a chamber musical line -up is also presented. Together with an ensemble of renowned musicians, Geitner brings the service to an emotional experience, such as Himmailkirche-musik.de describes in detail.Klaus Geitner: An era comes to an end
Klaus Geitner, who filled out the musical direction at the Ascension Church with great commitment, celebrated his 40th anniversary in 2023. Geitner shaped the church music scene, not only by the founding of ensembles and the introduction of the owl organ, but also through his diverse contacts with well-known orchestras and its international appearances. With his farewell, an era that was characterized by artistic devotion and a deep understanding of church music ends, and visitors can look forward to an unforgettable musical Christmas season.
