About Organ Spring Salzgitter
Organ Spring Salzgitter — edition 2026
The 2026 programme focuses on the stylistic diversity of organ music: from the baroque improvisational art of Sietze de Vries, the faithful interpretation of Christian Barthen, and Aaron Triebler's Romantic-focused works to the Pentecost closing concert with Buxtehude, Bach, and Brahms under Martin Kohlmann. The historic monastery church St. Abdon and Sennen in Ringelheim, a former Benedictine monastery church, forms the sonic and architectural centrepiece of the series.

A Concert Series for the Queen of Instruments
The Organ Spring Salzgitter has established itself as a fixture in the Lower Saxony church music calendar. The concert series combines the liturgical tradition of organ music with the standards of an international concert festival. With the baroque organ in the monastery church St. Abdon and Sennen in Ringelheim and other significant instruments in its Protestant and Catholic churches, Salzgitter possesses an organ heritage that this concert series showcases worthily.
