Orgel Plus Festival Bottrop
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Orgel Plus Festival
In 2025, the festival once again utilized the acoustic diversity of Bottrop's churches, especially St. Cyriakus, Liebfrauenkirche, and St. Joseph in Batenbrock. The taster concert at the beginning, the opening service, and the New Year's concert marked the festive start; several smaller concerts and the excursion to Dutch organs rounded off the programme.
Over the years, the festival has established itself as a blend of church concert series and experimental classical festival — filling a gap in the classical calendar of the Ruhr area, which the Bottrop Cultural Office is deliberately targeting.
