Candlelight Organ Concert

This year’s Night of the Organs offers a special musical experience for everyone who would like to discover the magical sound world of the organ. Concerts held across the country welcome audiences with diverse programs and inspiring performers. This evening is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate music together and to come closer to a truly remarkable instrument.

As part of the Night of the Organs, a candlelit organ concert awaits the audience at the St. Imre Church in Székesfehérvár. At this joint concert, organist Brúnó Kaposi, a two-time Fischer Annie Scholarship recipient, and trumpeter Dénes Seidl, winner of the Junior Prima Prize and the Fischer Annie Scholarship, will fill the church with an intimate dialogue between the dignified sound of the organ and the bright, ceremonial clarity of the trumpet, embraced by the warm glow of candlelight. This is more than a concert—it is an experience that engages multiple senses: intimate, uplifting, and inspiring.

And we have not even mentioned the program yet! After the traditional premiere fanfare of the Night of the Organs, works will be performed on organ and trumpet that were originally written for entirely different instrumental forces. Purcell’s The Fairy Queen began as stage music before becoming an orchestral suite, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons was originally written for violin and string orchestra, and Mozart’s motet Exsultate, jubilate was first performed by a castrato opera singer in Milan. By contrast, Bach’s D minor Toccata and Fugue is truly on home ground with the organ, as it is one of the instrument’s most famous works.

But can a trumpet sing or play like a violin? And can the organ become an entire orchestra? The concert will reveal the answers. Join us for this magical evening, where the dialogue between organ and trumpet invites you on a special musical journey. 🎶
