Copenhagen International Organ Festival 2025

On 1-4 May 2025, the large-scale Copenhagen International Organ Festival will be held for the fifth time. The festival is organised by The Royal Danish Academy of Music in collaboration with a number of Copenhagen churches. The audience is invited to a wide range of high-level concerts, masterclasses for the country's conservatory students, engaging concert activities for children and young people.

The centrepiece of the festival will be the Academy's outstanding Marcussen organ from 1946. But the organs in RDAM's Organ Hall will also be part of the festival with masterclasses and improvisation concerts with students.

Two international soloists will be visiting the festival: Professor Inger-Lise Ulsrud from Oslo and Professor David Franke from Freiburg. Both soloists have made a name for themselves in the art of improvisation on the organ.

In general, improvisation is an important part of the festival programme, and there will also be a focus on more or less unknown composers.

Naturally, RDAM's own forces are also presented in the festival. The students actively participate in masterclasses and concerts, and the academy's organ teachers are on stage in several of the concerts, including Saturday evening, when all seven organ teachers perform together with the RDAM Baroque Orchestra.
