As always, the Elztal Museum, which organises the organ festival, is determined to offer the friends of organ construction and the collectors of beautiful old instruments a varied, interesting and entertaining programme. A multitude of international guests are again invited. More than 100 historical instruments, built in Waldkirch as well as in other important centres, are expected to attend the Organ Festival in Waldkirch from all over the world. The organiser wishes to display as many historically interesting instruments as possible, in the interests of the friends of mechanical music and old instruments and, above all, to invite old Waldkirch organs to the Organ Festival.
The organ town of Waldkirch transforms into a lively open air stage and makes the old days come alive again. Masterpieces of the art of organ construction like barrel, concert and fair organs will enchant audiences with a nostalgic atmosphere in the streets around the Elztal Museum. Concerts, jazz and Caribbean sounds as well as exhibitions will create a link with the present - and a barrel organ will be raffled off among festival visitors. On the open day masters of organ construction will show their pipes and can be watched at work in their workshops. Culinary treats await the visitors at the town festival, which takes place simultaneously in the alleys of the old part of the town.
