Gerd Hennecke Makes the Organ Shine Like an Orchestra in Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Festive Sound Colors for the Day of German Unity at Christ Church

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, KMD Gerd Hennecke invites you at 7:00 PM to a special organ concert at Christ Church Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The program is titled When the Organ Becomes the Orchestra and places the grand Schmid-Weigle organ in the spotlight – an instrument that fills the church space with baroque sound splendor, virtuosic movement, and orchestral color. The official contact address for Christ Church is Pfarrplatz 6 in 92237 Sulzbach-Rosenberg. ([christuskirche-suro.de](https://www.christuskirche-suro.de/kirchenmusik))

An Instrument with Radiance

Gerd Hennecke has shaped church music in Sulzbach-Rosenberg for many years and, as dean cantore, is closely connected with Christ Church. A portrait in Onetz describes him as a musician who was fascinated by the organ from an early age; the community itself refers to his YouTube channel as his official digital presence.

Between Bach, Monti, and Albéniz

The program features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Vittorio Monti, and Isaac Albéniz. This promises a stylistically diverse evening: baroque architecture, southern fire, and sonic elegance meet the unique acoustics of a church space that allows the organ to breathe like a full ensemble. Such organ evenings thrive on precision, artistry of registration, and the fine transition between transparency and weight.

Space, Resonance, and Live Atmosphere

Christ Church is established for church musical events and lists concerts, choirs, and ticket sales on its website. For visitors, it not only counts the repertoire but also the concert experience in the space: the first note, the building tension, the resonance in the nave. The old town location offers several parking options in the vicinity, including areas at Pfarrplatz as well as additional parking in downtown Sulzbach.
