The website of the Stiehr-Mockers organ in Riquewihr.
When I see that some animals have Instagram accounts, I’m happy that some have decided to dedicate a website to a musical instrument. “Music begins where the power of words ends”.
It is on this quote from Richard Wagner that you come across when you arrive on the site of the organ of the Protestant church of Richàwihr, Riquewihr. First of all, this organ is in a very good state of preservation, you have all the information on the different periods and on the Stier-Mockers organ builder, as well as on the different stages of renovation. A second part of this site presents the different concerts that are played on and around this legendary organ. Every summer, you attend the Riquewihr International Organ Festival, usually on Sundays, and to keep you waiting, this Friday at 8 p.m., variations on the organ by Valérie Maurer, free concert with a hat for the benefit of the restoration of the organ, and on June 18 at 8:30 p.m., Mozart church sonatas as well as excerpts from Haendel’s Alcina, you will find all the information on the site orgue tiret riquewihr dot com.
