In this organ concert for children, the instrument becomes a storyteller. Together we search for lost music and even travel to outer space. There is fascinating music to discover at every location until we find a mysterious melody at the end.

The organ is also known as the "Queen of Instruments" because of its size and magnificent appearance. With its many different tone colours, it sounds like an entire orchestra. It is a demanding instrument for organists, as it is played not only with the hands but also with the feet. We present our new organ in all its marvellous facets for young and old.

From 5 years

This year's organ day for children takes place as part of the International Organ Festival Zurich. Find out more here.
