A journey to the most beautiful historical organs in Styria
Organ expert Peter Waldner invites us on a journey of discovery through the baroque Styrian organ sound, unearthing many a musical treasure from the 17th and 18th centuries. Peter Waldner from Innsbruck is a renowned expert on historical keyboard instruments and he presents the treasure that has been preserved in Styrian churches: historical organs from the Baroque era and the special music that makes these instruments shine. The audience travels to three of these special places on a coach tour.
