Dresden Organ Cycle

With the consecration of the Frauenkirche, a triumvirate of major city-centre churches exists, whose organs now sound as part of the Dresden Organ Cycle, each taking a weekly turn. The organs of the Cathedral, the Kreuzkirche and the Frauenkirche come from the workshops of Gottfried Silbermann (1755), the brothers Jemlich (1963) and the organ-builder firm Kern (2005). The three instruments will be played every Wednesday at 8 p.m., each being played once every three weeks. As a result, it will be possible to listen to and compare the three organs and to experience the different characters of the instruments in contrasting church buildings. 
 
The organists of the Cathedral, the Kreuzkirche and the Frauenkirche have put together an extensive concert programme. The high points every year are the international Dresden organ weeks. In the summer month it is  possible to listen to guests from the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, Japan und France, as well as the house organists.
