Organist Søren Rasmussen marks 40 years as a conservatory-trained organist with a concert at Sønder Tranders Kirke in Aalborg. The programme draws on organ works that have mattered most across his professional career.
Expect two major Baroque pieces, by Nicolaus Bruhns and Johann Sebastian Bach, the latter from Rasmussen's graduation recital at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in 1985. French organ music is also well represented, with works by Charles-Marie Widor, Maurice Duruflé and Jean Langlais, reflecting his long-standing fondness for French and Romantic repertoire. Two pieces by living Danish composers, Christian Præstholm and Bo Grønbech, round out the evening.
The concert is followed by a glass of sparkling wine and a chance to meet the anniversary organist.
