Festive concert at the Turn of the Year

Garrison Church

The young Saxon organist Elias Bixl will celebrate the end of the year with compositions from the early Baroque and late Romantic periods.

Organ concert with Elias Bixl

Elias Bixl loves and lives early music. He has been eliciting sounds from past centuries from various historical instruments since 2015. He began his training with Jürgen Schulze at the ‘Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’ music school in Döbeln. This was followed primarily by self-taught studies. He completed his training as a church musician (D) in 2022 with KMD Holger Schmidt in Leisnig. He currently performs on Sundays in various congregations in the Leisnig-Oschatz Evangelical Lutheran Church District. His repertoire covers a broad stylistic range from early baroque to late romanticism.
