KulturSINN | Double concert at Pentecost with David Briggs

DOUBLE CONCERT AT WHITSUN

With the New York star organist David Briggs: 1 artist – 2 organs – 2 programs

The New York Times praises him in the highest terms: “Mr. Briggs is one of our finest organists, and also a particularly good transcriber of orchestral works for his own instrument.”

On Whitsun, the American star organist David Briggs will kick off the 2026 season of KulturSINN Rhein-Selz with a double concert in Oppenheim and Nierstein. The organizers are bringing one of the internationally renowned organists to the Rhine. David Briggs embodies musicality and virtuosity. Like no one else, he captivates his audience with his virtuosic organ playing.

He has rearranged orchestral compositions by Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Elgar, Bruckner, Ravel, and Bach, as well as Mahler for the organ, offering his listeners the chance to experience the "Queen of Instruments" in a new way. At the age of 17, David Briggs earned his diploma as a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists. Throughout his international career, he has won numerous awards and received many honors. Briggs is actively dedicated to ensuring that organ music remains relevant and vibrant. “Guests of KulturSINN Rhein-Selz can look forward to two concerts of the highest caliber this Whitsun,” says Rudolf Felgner, the head of the Tourism Service Center of the Verbandsgemeinde Rhein-Selz.

And as is tradition in Rheinhessen, a cultural event is always rounded off with a little refreshment. Culture in churches and culinary delights form the triad of this unique series of events. The team of KulturSINN Rhein-Selz welcomes guests before the concert with a wine and champagne reception from Rheinhessen wine cellars.
