There is no better way to start Advent Sunday than with a varied, atmospheric organ concert: Christian Schmitt, renowned concert organist with a professorship at the Rotterdam Conservatory, invites you to a matinee with a program that presents the "queen of instruments" from the most beautiful romanticism to a piece exclusively for the pedals (i.e. played with the feet!).

Franz-Josef Selig, with his sonorous bass voice, is one of the best loved and known representatives of his fach, much in demand for his wonderful portrayals of characters including Gurnemanz, King Marke, Sarastro, Rocco, Osmin and Fiesco which he performs regularly at places including the Salzburg, Bayreuth and Aix-en-Provence festivals, the Bavarian and Vienna state operas, La Scala Milan and Metropolitan Opera in New York, working with conductors such as Christian Thielemann, Sir Simon Rattle and Zubin Mehta. Now he's back at  Oper Frankfurt, where he sang Gurnemanz in Wagner's Parsifal in 2019, to give his second recital here with Gerold Huber (the first was in 2014). We look forward to welcoming these two exceptional musicians back to the house!

"'Kalthoum' is a tribute to women who changed the course of history and whose art continues to impact our lives today," says Lebanese-French jazz trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf about his album, which he dedicated to the great Egyptian vocal diva Umm Kulthum. The "Maria Callas of the Orient" remains unforgettable in the Arab world, even fifty years after her death. "Kulthum is the voice I've listened to most since my early childhood," recalls Maalouf.
