When engineering meets organ sound
On Monday, November 2, 2026, the auditorium maximum of Ruhr University Bochum transforms into a resonance space for an unusual musical conversation: At the LunchtimeConcert "Engineer Meets Music – a Dialogue," Dr.-Ing. Andreas Laschet improvises on the large Klais organ.
Improvisation with technical precision
Andreas Laschet combines his work as an engineer with a long-standing engagement with piano and church organ. His musical focus is on the music of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. In Bochum, this creates a live experience where spontaneous sound decisions, registration, and room acoustics directly intertwine.
The large Klais organ in the Audimax
The organ brings the architecturally distinctive hall of the Audimax to life with powerful basses, clear mixtures, and colorful sound layers. Each improvisation evolves in the moment: motifs grow, change their form, and condense into a musical dramaturgy. The interplay of resonance, synchronization, and sound balance makes the concert date a special encounter between music and technology.
A concert at lunchtime
The LunchtimeConcert offers a concentrated musical interlude in university life. Instead of large stage production, the immediate stage performance at the Klais organ takes center stage. The audience's mood is created by the proximity to the instrument, the special acoustics of the Audimax, and the tension of an improvisation, the course of which only unfolds during the concert itself.
Conclusion: Experience organ music live in Bochum
The LunchtimeConcert "Engineer Meets Music – a Dialogue" promises an unusual concert experience between scientific curiosity, musical experience, and spontaneous organ improvisation. Admission is free; a collection is requested at the exit. Anyone wishing to experience the large Klais organ in a concentrated live atmosphere should not miss this special concert date at Ruhr University Bochum.
