What will happen when a Polish professor from the University of Bremen takes over the organ in a Czech church? Krzysztof Urbaniak will offer baroque and his own compositions.
Organ concerts are an integral and very popular part of the Český Krumlov music festival. On the second Sunday of the festival, Krzysztof Urbaniak, a winner of numerous awards from international organ competitions and a professor at the Bremen University of Performing Arts, will perform. The organ will sound with compositions by Johann Ulrich Steigleder and his own work. The man, who considers it crucial to strengthen organ education and skills, has been inspiring the public with his love for this instrument for years. He transmits positive emotions and a warm relationship to music at competitions, to students and at concerts. They are usually held in majestic spaces that are inherent to the royal instrument. This confirms the importance of historical organs as tangible and intangible cultural heritage, which is carefully cared for not only by the Polish organist and professor.
