Niklas (NB not Nilkas) Jahn was joint 1st Prizewinner in the 2023 improvisation competition at the St Albans Organ Festival.
A young organist???? Where is the indignation and pot stirring that normally greats news like this on SD?
Ein Besser-Hessie.
One of the youngest.
I wonder what the set of ages of applicants was.
Is there a demo that this sort of position most appeals to.
Is the great Matthias Grünert leaving this job?
No, Matthias Grünert will stay Frauenkirchenkantor. This audition was held in order to find a successor for the late Samuel Kummer who was let go as Frauenkirchenorganist 2 years ago.
So, he missed the deadline for the Winchester job then?
Who cares?
Must be a slow day if you’re reporting on organ “news”.
