During the first part of 2025, organist Christian Winther Christensen will play three small concerts in which he divides the organ booklet into 3 parts. The work was written in the period 1708–1714, while Bach was court organist at the ducal court in Weimar. It consists of 46 chorale preludes that cover almost the entire church year. The concert on April 25 will consist of the middle 13 chorale preludes and will cover the entire Easter. The 3 concerts will all be surrounded by a prelude and fugue by Bach.

Concert: Organ Booklet, second part

Frederiksberg Kirke

In the concert series 'Danish Dialogues', ATHELAS commissions a new work from a Danish composer, who at the same time selects a work by another composer that has had a special meaning for them. This time it applies to Morten Ladehoff, who has written 5TÜCKW3RK for the occasion – a work that plays with the idea of ​​being a piece of music in pieces. Ladehoff himself describes the work as a kind of autonomous sound factory, where musical processes are initiated but not completed, and where contours of delicate sonorous constructions arise, are played forwards and backwards, accelerated, cut up and interwoven criss-cross. In the middle of this unpredictable, angular and noisy universe is a core of poetic sensibility.
