🎹 Organ Concert Program:

⛰️ An organ in the mountains is a rare opportunity to hear one of the most monumental instruments in a space where music literally merges with nature.

🎼 Organist Gleb Mikhailov invites you on a sonic journey – from a nearly weightless sacred whisper to a powerful, all-encompassing ocean of sound.

🎹 On this evening, the organ becomes a living witness to epochs: an instrument that has survived centuries and continues to tell the story of the world through sound.

👤 Performer:
🎹 Gleb Mikhailov – organist and organ builder, laureate of the Roizman International Competition (Moscow, 2024), graduate of the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music (class of Prof. A. V. Fiseisky), completed internships in Germany and Italy. He has performed at leading concert venues in Russia.
