22nd International Festival “Days of Organ – Dies organorum”: CARMEN JAUCH, ECKHART FICHER and ANA STANKOVIĆ

05.07.2022., 20:00

The concert Brilliance of Sound for Two Alphorns and Organ will be an opportunity for our audience to get to know another unusual instrument. The musicians who will lead us through this new, luxurious sound world are horn players Ana Stanković (Serbia / Germany), Eckhart Fischer (Germany) and organist Carmen Jauch (Germany). The way in which they use the acoustic specifics of each individual concert space is especially interesting, changing the position from which they play during the concert. The visit of the trio was supported by the Goethe-Institut in Belgrade and the Embassy of Switzerland in Serbia.

Alphornist Eckhart Fischer have joined this trio after the accident that happened to Martin Roos, original member of the ensemble. Roos broke a leg and he had to cancel all his activities in next 6 weeks.
