A summer evening full of organ brilliance in St. Joseph Beuel

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the St. Joseph Beuel church in Bonn will resonate again with great organ art.

Grand forms, great tension

The audience experiences not just a concert, but a concert experience filled with tension, breath, and architectural openness.

Repertoire with character and richness of color

The program includes Joseph Jongen's Sonata eroica, Wagner's Tristan and Isolde in the transcription by Jean-Paul Imbert, as well as Lehnen's own pieces on Marian antiphons. This mixture is what makes the evening so attractive: great tradition, expressive orchestration on the organ, and a personal, liturgically grounded sound language.
