Liepaja Concert Hall Gets Digital Organ Gift

Liepaja Concert Hall acquires New Digital Organ in Collaboration with German Master Craftsman

The Liepaja Concert Hall (“Great Amber”) in Latvia has recently acquired a new digital organ, expanding its musical capabilities and providing a valuable resource for music education. The instrument was custom-built in Germany in partnership with renowned organ master Michael Aihler. https://liepajaskoncerta.lv/en/

This acquisition was made possible through a public donation campaign, “Give the Concert Hall,” which successfully raised 25,000 euros. Contributions came from members of the Concert hall Growth Society and a significant outpouring of public donations. The digital organ will broaden the repertoire available at the concert hall and benefit its resident ensembles, including the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra.

A key feature of the new organ is its mobility, allowing it to be used in locations beyond the concert hall itself. Furthermore, the instrument will serve as a crucial training tool for students at the Liepaja Music, Art and Design high School, providing them with hands-on experiance with organ performance.

The organ will make its debut during the opening concert of the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra’s season. Organist Iveta Apkalna played a key role in the selection of the instrument, ensuring it meets the high artistic standards of the hall. https://www.ivetaapkalna.com/
