    SHOOTING STAR AT THE ORGAN – Bremen Music Festival

    SHOOTINGSTAR AN DER ORGEL – Musikfest Bremen

    On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, Jan Liebermann will perform at 8:00 p.m. in Papenburg. At just 20 years old, he is considered one of the most promising young organists. At the 2025 Bremen Music Festival, he was therefore awarded the Deutschlandfunk Promotion Prize. The largest organ from the Weimar Republic still in existence in Germany today is certainly the ideal instrument for bringing to life works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Vierne, and Liszt in musically delicate, well-thought-out, and technically brilliant interpretations.
