Festival Internacional de Órgano 2026

Organ recital series organised by the Real Hermandad del Refugio y Piedad de Madrid, with Spanish masters and international performers, at the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes.

This charity organ festival reaches its fifth edition at the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes in Madrid. It is organised by the Real Hermandad del Refugio y Piedad de Madrid and brings together performers from Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland, with the support of foreign cultural institutions such as the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and the Instituto Polaco de Cultura de Madrid.

The opening concert is dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach, who held the post of cantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Three organists linked to German-speaking communities in Madrid, Jan-Uwe Ness, Luis Mazorra Incera and Marta Misztal Bloch, present a programme that shows different facets of Bach as an organist, through a variety of musical forms and improvisation.

Outside the cycle, the church also hosts a recital by the soprano Elena Rodríguez Vidal, accompanied by the Capilla Musical de San Antonio.
