György Ligeti's "Volumina" revolutionized playing on the queen of instruments. The differently constituted sound spaces without rhythm, melody or harmony, which "evoke a sensation of great calm," as the composer wrote, challenge the organ's technique to its performance limits. Markus Uhl complements Ligeti's powerful clusters with the sublime counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach at Passion time.

The concert is part of the focus points "Ligeti 100", "Trans- and Intercultural Programme" and "Visionaries".
