Welcome to the International Symposium on the Importance and Future of the Organ
8–11 September 2011 in Zurich
The Symposium’s goal is to give impulses on different levels and challenge academic institutions, churches, politics and the general public to take responsibility on preserving and promoting the cultural value of the organ.
Promoting and supporting upcoming talents and the passing on of this cultural value to children and adolescents will receive special attention.
Target audience are specialists from all over Europe active in the fields of organ building, organ playing, teaching (teachers and students), music management and people in managing positions in churches, politics and cultural institutions.
Through organ demonstrations, concerts and „organ walks“ through Zurich, this Symposium also addresses the broad public in Zurich as well as the media.
