"Above the Sound". Lecture by Gleb Mikhailov "Air, Pipes, and Mathematics", August 23, 2026

🎹 Event Program:

🎼 The organ is called the king of instruments, but how is this musical giant actually constructed? What lies behind its powerful sound, and why has it continued to delight audiences worldwide for centuries?

🔍 At a meeting with organist and organ builder Gleb Mikhailov, we will look inside one of the most complex musical instruments created by man.

✨ Together, we will explore:
• how organ sound is produced and why it can fill a vast space;
• why the organ needs thousands of pipes and dozens of stops;
• how different pipes can imitate a flute, string instruments, and even the human voice;
• why organists play not only with their hands but also with their feet;
• how the instrument reacts to temperature, humidity, and the specifics of the concert hall.

🎹 This lecture will be an opportunity to see the organ through the eyes of a musician and builder who knows not only the art of performance but also the internal workings of the instrument.
