Hyperorgan symposium 2025 "New research."
The 18th International Orgelpark Symposium, taking place on June 5th, 6th, and 7th, showcased new research concerning organ art on three levels: research by instrument builders, research by scholars, and research by musicians. On all three levels a remarkable activity can be observed, suggesting that the organ is actually becoming successful at its transition into a 21st century instrument: it proves to fit any music by activating its historic roots, giving access to them in ways considered unthinkable until only recently.
The Symposium brought together some of the main key figures in recent organ history, including Yves Rechsteiner (Toulouse-les-Orgues, initiator of the Explorateur Organ), Daniel Glaus (his project Organ-Innov-Um laid the foundations for the current developments), Hans-Ola Ericsson (who initiated the realization of the Orgel Acusticum, the huge hyperorgan in Piteå, North-Sweden), Randall Harlow (who coined the very term ‘hyperorgan’), Nils-Henrik Asheim (who pioneered hyperorgan music before the term existed at all), and Hampus Lindwall (who combines past and future in ways beyond anyone else's talents); as well as the organ builders Jürgen Scriba (presenting a brand-new dynamic organ valve, developed over the past year), Tony Decap (doing the very same, in a very different fashion), and Claudius Woehl (representing the next generation of organ builders). Next to these men, the symposium opens the Orgelpark’s floor for no less than fifteen young and very active researchers and artists, including Francesca Ajossa, Annie Garlid, Elisabeth Hubmann, Katta, Jasmine Karimova, and Amarante Nat.
