Orgelkonzert Victoria Ulriksen

Next-Gen Organ🔥We’re excited to welcome Norwegian organist Victoria Ulriksen (b. 2006): She studied in Leipzig and Oslo and has performed at Westminster Abbey, Oslo Cathedral, and the Salzburg Festival. She appeared on “Norske Talenter,” similar to the German show “Das Supertalent.” At St. Lorenz Church, she’ll present a program ranging from symphonic power to quiet moments on one of the world’s largest organs—featuring music by Wagner (“Ride of the Valkyries”), Reger, Mendelssohn, Walther/Vivaldi, Grieg, and Messiaen. A true highlight—don’t miss it!
