Concerts for Schools

Musik mit 4109 Pfeifen

About the Concert

There are not many instruments that you can play with your hands and feet at the same time. The organ is one of them. It's no wonder that you have to use your whole body to make such a huge instrument sound. Our organ at the Kulturpalast has no less than 4109 pipes! You can find out how to make them play, what a stop is, what the strange word manual means, and much more in our school concert. Oh, and why is the organ in the concert hall and not in a church?

Grades 7-10
