In 1995, Jürgen Ahrend built an organ for the music hall of the Deutsches Museum based on North German models from the Baroque period, which is predestined for the works of North German masters such as Dietrich Buxtehude and Johann Reincken. Both made a deep impression on the young Bach. Numerous formal and idiomatic influences can be found in his early works. Bach also had an unerring instinct for the quality of contemporary works. He copied and transcribed works by French and Italian masters and, as Margareta Hürholz will show in her concert, found a "European" synthesis of the highest balance.
Margareta Hürholz performs in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and Mexico. Her repertoire includes works from all eras, combining her love of the classical organ repertoire with a constant curiosity for the unknown in early and new music. From 1997 to 2020, she was professor of artistic organ playing at the University of Music and Dance in Cologne and curator of the Ahrend organ in the Corpus Christi Church of the Ursulines there.
