Jazz on pipes: the organ shows its elegant second soul

This concert focuses on what makes the organ so special in a live experience: contrasts. Between buoyant swing, Latin American rhythms, and the vast acoustics of the church space, an audience mood is created that is both concentrated and captivating. The Friedensorgel will not only be accompanied here but will also be heard anew as a colorful solo instrument. According to the Bonn church district, Dr. Lilo Kunkel is recognized as an organist and musicologist with concert activities on the theme of jazz on the pipe organ.

Musical tension between tradition and groove

When swing harmonies meet the sacred space, a special concert experience occurs: precise orchestration, clear articulation, and an acoustic space that prolongs every phrase. Exactly this blend makes organ concerts with jazz references so appealing. The series at the Friedenskirche deliberately focuses on musical diversity and the sonic interplay of church, organ, and live atmosphere.
