The long-awaited inauguration of the organ in the Main Hall of the National Forum of Music in Wrocław will take place during the weekend of 24-25 October 2020. The state-of-the-art organ is equipped with 4 700 pipes.
The building of the pipe organ at the National Forum of Music has been completed. Thanks to this, the wonderful organ repertoire of the past centuries will be brought to life at the NFM, and the opportunity to play contemporary organ works will open the way to getting acquainted with new compositions. The instrument was designed and made by organ builders from the Orgelbau Klais Bonn workshop, which boasts over one hundred years of tradition and experience. Its regal sound will perfectly match the acclaimed NFM acoustic.
The inaugural weekend will include five organ concerts performed by outstanding artists representing different generations. We will listen to the doyen of Polish organists Julian Gembalski and Karol Mossakowski, a young artist quickly gaining recognition from the audience and critics. Andrzej Chorosiński, Elżbieta Karolak and Józef Serafin will present a varied programme, which includes works by 20th-century Polish composer Marian Sawa. Roman Perucki, Piotr Rojek and Marcin Szelest will perform pieces by six composers representing various eras and musical styles, including Zbigniew Kruczek's Prelude and Fugue on a BACH Theme.
