Great Organ Art in the Basilica Ottobeuren: Benedikt Bonelli Meets Baroque Sound Splendor
When Benedikt Bonelli takes to the organ on September 26, 2026, in the Basilica Ottobeuren, lived church music meets a space of extraordinary radiance. The concert begins at 4:00 PM and lasts approximately 40 minutes. Admission is free, donations are requested.
Sound Space with History
The basilica is one of the most impressive Baroque churches in southern Germany and is famous for its unique organ trio. Two Baroque Riepp organs and the Marian organ create a resonance space where every line, every chord, and every tonal nuance is immediately perceptible. Here, organ music unfolds that special live atmosphere that captivates listeners from the first note.
Benedikt Bonelli at the Registers
Benedikt Bonelli has been the choir director and organist of the Basilica St. Lorenz in Kempten since 2009. He studied organ in Vienna and Salzburg, graduated with honors, and has appeared as a performer throughout the German-speaking world as well as in productions for WDR, ORF, Radio Stephansdom, and BR. His work combines liturgical depth with concert practice, precision in conducting, and a keen sense for the architecture of organ literature.
Ottobeuren as a Center of Organ Music

The voluminous sound of the instruments, the sacred expansiveness of the basilica, and the concentrated audience atmosphere create a concert experience that hovers between devotion and musical tension. Those who listen here not only experience music but space, history, and breath in perfect synchrony.
