Wind Sounds and Organ Magic in St. Stephan

On Saturday, November 21, 2026, the Mainz St. Stephan Church will be transformed into an impressive concert hall: The Rheinhessian Wind Philharmonic, together with organist Andreas Weith, will present a colorful program under the direction of Stefan Grefig.

Symphonic Wind Sound Meets Church Space

The special acoustics of St. Stephan provide the symphonic wind orchestra with space for powerful tutti, bright timbres, and finely graduated dynamics. Between precise synchronization, orchestral depth, and the majestic reverberation of the organ, a live atmosphere is created that makes musical architecture immediately tangible.

Renaissance Dances in Modern Orchestration

One of the highlights of the program is Bob Margolis’ colorful work Terpsichore. The composition refers to the namesake collection of Renaissance dances by the German composer Michael Praetorius and combines historical dance impulses with modern orchestration for symphonic wind orchestra.

Venetian Polyphony as Sound Image

Johan de Meij's award-winning composition Echoes of San Marco brings the tradition of Venetian polyphony into the church space. Changing sound groups, spatial contrasts, and the interplay of winds and organ promise a stage performance that reveals special perspectives, not only musically but also acoustically.

An Evening for Curious Concert Guests

The concert is aimed at everyone who wants to experience symphonic wind music, church music, and extraordinary sound spaces. The conducting of Stefan Grefig guides through a program that connects Renaissance references, modern sound language, and the expressive effect of the organ.
