A 40-Minute Concert that Lets the Space Breathe

On September 26, 2026, the Basilica in Ottobeuren invites you to a special organ concert with Benedikt Bonelli. The event starts at 4:00 PM and takes you in just 40 minutes right into the sound world of one of Bavaria's most impressive church spaces.

A Master Instrument Meets Baroque Grandeur

The Basilica Ottobeuren is famous for its unique organ triad: three powerful instruments whose sound unfolds an extraordinary presence in the vast space. It is here that the organ music reveals its full effect - with direct communication, precise articulation, and that fine tension that makes a live concert experience so intense.

Benedikt Bonelli and the Tradition of Great Organ Art

Benedikt Bonelli has been the Choral Director and Organist at the Basilica of St. Lorenz in Kempten since 2009. He studied organ in Vienna and Salzburg, graduated with honors, and specializes in the great organ literature. His work spans liturgy, concerts, and historically informed sound culture - a combination that proves particularly credible in Ottobeuren.

Sound, Space, Concentration

Those who experience organ music live do not just hear tones, but also architecture. In the basilica, reverberation, register colors, and dynamic arches merge into an almost physical audience atmosphere. This is what makes this format so appealing: not an overloaded evening, but a concentrated musical moment with great impact.

A Place with Radiance Far Beyond the Region

The Basilica in Ottobeuren is one of the most significant Baroque churches in Germany and has shaped the music scene of the Allgäu for decades. For visitors, this means not just a concert, but a cultural event in a location perfectly suited for sacred music and organ tradition.

Conclusion: This organ concert promises a dense, celebratory, and at the same time approachable evening in Ottobeuren. Those who want to experience Benedikt Bonelli and the sonic dimension of the basilica live should mark this date and enjoy the special atmosphere on-site.
