Dominik Susteck opens the Bochum Organ Autumn 2026
When on Sunday, October 4, 2026, the first sounds float through St. Peter and Paul Propstei Church in Bochum, the Bochum Organ Autumn begins with a special concert experience: Dominik Susteck will perform the opening concert on the organ. The start is at 16:00.
Organ sound in the heart of Bochum's city center
The Propstei Church on Untere Marktstraße provides the atmospheric setting for an afternoon between spiritual tradition and contemporary sound language. The large Breil organ, which was extensively renovated in 2023 and is now one of the significant instruments in the Ruhr area, is at the center. Its warm, nuanced sound shapes both the church's musical life and the concert series of Propsteimusik.
Dominik Susteck: Organist, composer, and sound designer
Born in Bochum in 1977, Dominik Susteck studied church music, music theory, composition, and organ in Essen, Cologne, and Saarbrücken. As an organist and composer, he particularly dedicates himself to contemporary organ music, improvisation, and the connection of acoustic space and modern tonal language. His artistic work has taken him, among other places, to the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne, where he worked as a composer and organist from 2007 to 2021.
Between tradition, improvisation, and new music
Susteck's repertoire includes works by significant modern composers as well as his own compositions and improvisations. His recordings with WERGO and Querstand have received, among other accolades, the German Record Critics' Award twice. He has also been awarded multiple times as a composer, including the Schneider-Schott Music Prize from the City of Mainz.
In the concert, precise conducting at the instrument combines with a sensitive perception of the church's acoustics. Register colors, reverberation, and dynamic contrasts make the organ not only a accompaniment instrument but also a multifaceted sound body. The Propstei Church itself becomes a resonance space for the stage performance.
A musical kickoff with a special audience atmosphere
The Bochum Organ Autumn continues the successful concert series at the Breil organ. The opening concert with Dominik Susteck is aimed at curious listeners, experienced organ fans, and anyone who wants to experience church music in its modern, spatial form.
The audience can expect a focused concert experience with radiant sound colors, deep resonance, and a live atmosphere in which every note resonates long after. Anyone wanting to experience the queen of instruments between sacred architecture and contemporary organ art should not miss this Bochum concert afternoon.
Conclusion: Organ music as a sound journey
Dominik Susteck opens the Bochum Organ Autumn 2026 with a musical encounter that connects tradition and present. On October 4, 2026, St. Peter and Paul Propstei Church transforms into an impressive resonance space. Mark the date now and experience organ music live in Bochum.
