Organ meets Taiko: A powerful evening at the IDO Festival 2026

On Friday, 23rd October 2026, the Protestant Johanneskirche in Düsseldorf will transform into a resonance room for an extraordinary concert experience. At the 21st IDO Festival, the majestic colors of the Beckerath organ meet the ritual energy of Japanese Taiko drums. FENIKS and organist Hans-André Stamm combine tradition, precision, and contemporary performance into an evening full of dynamism.

Imposing rhythms and ethereal organ sounds

As the first deep organ tones resonate through the church space and the Japanese drums respond with powerful beats, an extraordinary musical tension arises. Under the hands of Hans-André Stamm, the organ unfolds a festive, almost majestic fullness of sound. FENIKS accentuates with striking rhythmic highlights, bringing the intense energy of the Taiko tradition to the center of the IDO Festival.

The Belgian performance ensemble FENIKS stands for dynamic, precise playing and a distinctive contemporary style. Together with Hans-André Stamm, an intense auditory and visual experience is created that combines classical organ music with powerful Japanese drumming. The performance thrives on strong contrasts: sustained sound fields, precise hits, physical presence, and the unique acoustics of the church.

A defining concert experience of the IDO Festival

The combination of organ and Japanese drums has been a defining concert experience of the IDO Festival for more than two decades. The program exemplifies the festival character of the International Düsseldorf Organ Festival: the organ remains the focal point but encounters other sound worlds, modern performance forms, and international artists.

Conclusion: Be there live when space and rhythm merge

Visitors can expect a festive, energetic concert evening with spectacular sound effects and great emotional intensity. Anyone wishing to experience organ music from a new perspective and feel the power of Japanese Taiko drums should experience this special cross-concert of the IDO Festival live in Düsseldorf.
