Jan Vogler & Christian Schmitt

Jan Vogler alternates between life on stage and his role as a (program) designer. Since 2009, the cellist has shaped the Dresden Music Festival as its artistic director – and now invites the internationally acclaimed organist Christian Schmitt to the new Thomas organ at the church of Rougemont. Together, they present an impressive program dedicated to Bach and the composers who followed in his footsteps.
