Top-class keyboard and pedal artists on the queen of instruments: shooting star Anna Lapwood, who played her way into the hearts of Viennese audiences in 2024, opens the series with an original combination of works by organist-composer Eugène Gigout and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky as well as music from the Hollywood blockbusters »Star Wars«, »Inception« and »The Da Vinci Code«. The duo Olivier Latry and Shin-Young Lee will celebrate the art of arrangement with compositions from Rameau to Stravinsky: the pair will perform together for the first time – with four hands and four feet - on the Rieger organ. We welcome a special guest in the form of 24-year-old Aurel Dawidiuk, who is causing a sensation internationally as an organist, pianist and conductor: he takes on the core repertoire and interprets works by Bach, Tournemire and Liszt, among others. Star organist Iveta Apkalna returns to the Wiener Konzerthaus with a choir from her Latvian homeland: she concludes the cycle with a multifaceted program that proves how excellently organ and voice harmonize with each other.
