Otto Maria Krämer will improvise on September 5th
As part of the Darmstadt Wine Festival, an organ concert will be held at St. Ludwig Church on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 6 p.m. Titled "In a Frenzy of Sound," the concert will feature Otto Maria Krämer playing the Winterhalter organ in the Darmstadt church.

The traditional concert at the wine festival combines cheerful and lively pieces with melancholic sounds. Improvisation takes center stage, with Krämer also incorporating suggestions from the audience and arranging the requested melodies on the organ.
