New Year's Eve concert with saxophone and organ

Sonorous or gentle, symphonic or solo, from baroque to contemporary, all this promises the charming combination of saxophone and organ. Castle church cantor Thomas Herzer and saxophonist Frank Liebscher from Leipzig make the castle church ring with music on New Year's Eve.
The program includes the famous and virtuoso D minor Toccata by J.S. Bach, the sonorous Suite Gothique by Leon Boellmann, the tender Romance in G major by Johan Severin Svendson, the Hungarian dance Czardas by Vittorio Monti and the timeless music "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt. All these works can be heard in arrangements for organ and saxophone.

Admission is €15 and €10 reduced. Children up to and including 12 years get free admission.

DISCOVER MORE …

The altar in the choir, which rises to a height of up to 12 m, is largely made of soft French limestone due to its delicate shapes. On the massive cafeteria block (altar table) with a red-brown marble top there is a carved crucifix (1890 by the Tyrolean wood carver Demetz) and two heavy brass candlesticks. Behind the cafeteria rises the tabernacle-like altarpiece, consisting of three high keel arches richly decorated with Gothic style elements, in which three large limestone figures stand.

The current double-leaf bronze door, installed in 1858, was donated by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (r. 1840-1861) and built by the conservator of Prussian monuments Ferdinand v. Tassel designed. Friedrich Drake created the small musician figures at the top of the two door wings. Luther's 95 theses in Latin are cast into the door wings in Gothic minuscule script.
