“Organ Symphony in the Concert Hall” – a lecture by Dr. Dietmar Hiller
On March 13 and 14, 2026, Olivier Latry, one of the titular organists of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, will be a guest of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. He will perform as soloist on the Jehmlich organ in the Great Hall in Francis Poulenc's (1899-1963) Concerto for Organ, String Orchestra, and Timpani.
The highlight of the concert evening will undoubtedly be the performance of Camille Saint-Saëns' (1835-1921) famous "Organ Symphony," in which the organ joins the orchestra and is given a prominent role.
Lecture by Dr. Dietmar Hiller
Based on these two works, Dr. Dietmar Hiller's lecture will explore the interplay between organ and orchestra in the concert hall or church space in general, presenting representative examples from history and the present day.Registration is requested: by phone at 030-54704142 or by email to Christoph Kaltenborn
