Ways to the Organ in Church Community Life
Annegret Kleindopf



Since 2006, the project «Old Organs for Young People» is conducted at
the Stade Organ Academy with the generous support from the Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Hanover. In the organ landscape between the Elbe
and the Weser, children and adolescents are made familiar with the organs
of their native land and the entire region. The spread ranges from
organ tours for child and youth groups over a children's organ day up to
the annual Youth Organ Forum Stade which provides the opportunity for
the 12 to 18 years olds to deal in depth with the splendid instruments of
Stade and ist surroundings.
Approximately 20 participants from Germany and Great Britain come together
for a week. Morning and evening devotions arranged by young
people, lessons with renowned teachers, practising and a final concert
with all participants form the musical framework. In addition, all sing together,
friendships develop, and self-confidence and motivation are
strengthened.
Not having to hide in their own community and from their peers opens up
new perpectives for the young organists
