    About us

    Promoter of the Symposium

    This event is organized and prepared by the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK, Zรผrcher Hochschule der Kรผnste) in close collaboration with the Music Academies of Basel, Berne, Lucerne and Trossingen (OrganExpert) and with the support from churches, the Zurich Church Music Association (ZKMV) and various associations in Switzerland and abroad.

    Initiation group

    In 2007, during the joint organ convention of the Society of the Friends of the Organ (Gesellschaft der Orgelfreunde) and the Austrian Friends of the Organ in Graz (Austria), the question raised: โ€œOrganum, quo vadis ?โ€. Initially, the AGSO (Council for Historic Organ Preservation) under the initiative of the organists Dr. phil. Bernhard Billeter (Zurich), Prof. Rudolf Meyer (Winterthur) and OBM Wolfgang Rehn (Mรคnnedorf) went further into the matter, soon followed by Dr. Marco Brandazza (Organ Documentation Centre Lucerne), Prof. Dr. Michael G. Kaufmann (OrganExpert), Frank Mehlfeld (Rapperswil) and Dr. Markus T. Funck (Klettgau).
    The realization of the event is now in the hands of the Zurich University of the Arts, Prof. Beat Schรคfer (Head, Church Music); the contentual organization in close collaboration with a commission of organ teachers at Swiss music academies and the initiation group.
