An Evening for Sound, Space, and Resonance
Those who love the special live atmosphere of organ music will experience a concert event between majestic spatial sound and concentrated silence. The Propsteikirche St. Urbanus has been a central venue for organ music in Gelsenkirchen for years; on its large Breil organ, the instrument unfolds in full color and with impressive acoustic depth.

Baroque Precision Meets Romantic Vastness
The repertoire featuring Buxtehude, Bach, and Mendelssohn promises an exciting arc through several epochs of organ literature. In a church space like the Propsteikirche, the contours of this music come to precise life: baroque lines, clear registration, fine dynamics, and the expansive breath of romantic organ works combine to create an intense listening experience.

A Young Church Musician in Focus
Tobias Seidel has been the coordinating church musician of the parish of St. Lambertus in Essen since February 2026. His church music career includes C training in Essen, studies in Catholic church music at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf, and further studies in choral conducting. This combination of expertise, practice, and liturgical experience also influences his work at the organ.
