OLD SOUNDS, NEW MUSICS

THE UTOPA BAROQUE ORGAN

 

 

 

The Orgelpark has lived now with the new Utopa Baroque Organ for over a year, and as it turns out, the instrument inspires composers and musicians in many ways. Its new technology works just fine, and appears to be interesting not only to experimentalists but to historically informed/inspired performers as well, as its touch sensitive keys enable controlling the pallets very precisely.

 

The International Orgelpark Symposium 2019 focuses on both the historical sounds of the Utopa Baroque Organ and its digital interface. The lectures and recitals will be given by famous organists and thinkers from all over the world; many of them took part in the Reference Group that helped the Orgelpark develop and build the organ over the past seven years.
