Queen of Heaven: Radiant Voices Meet Majestic Organ Sounds
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the Basilica of St. Margareta in Düsseldorf-Gerresheim will transform into a resonance space for extraordinary women's choir and organ music. At the 21st IDO Festival, The Troubadives, together with organist Ute Gremmel-Geuchen, will present the concert Queen of Heaven – an evening of heartfelt a cappella music, multi-voiced richness, and festive organ sound.
A Radiant Ensemble Sound
The Troubadives unite internationally active singers with solo experience and long-standing musical connection. Their homogeneous choral sound combines individual voice colors into a luminous, precisely synchronized stage performance. In the unique acoustics of the Basilica, the voices unfold with clarity, warmth, and great spatial depth.
Romanticism, Late Romanticism, and Modernity
The musical panorama spans from heartfelt a cappella music through complex multi-voiced sound worlds to the majestic interplay of choir and organ. Works from Romanticism, French Late Romanticism, and Modernity meet contemporary sounds, creating a concert program that intertwines tradition and the present while making different facets of sacred sound language audible.
The Rieger Organ as a Sonorous Partner
Ute Gremmel-Geuchen will shape the evening at the three-manual Rieger organ of the Basilica of St. Margareta. The instrument, built in 1982 by Rieger organ builders in Schwarzach, features 40 stops and offers a wide range from delicate flute tones to fundamental tones and festive sound expansion. In interplay with the women's choir, a finely balanced orchestration of breath, resonance, and majestic sound movement emerges.
Concert Experience in the Church Space
The live atmosphere of the Basilica combines sacred architecture with immediate musical closeness. As the voices spread out over the audience and the organ fills the space with its great sound richness, an intense concert experience between contemplation and radiant festivity is created. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the concert starts at 8:00 PM.
Conclusion: An Evening Full of Radiant Sound Colors
Queen of Heaven promises an extraordinary concert evening for all who wish to experience choral music, organ music, and impressive church spaces. Secure your place at the 21st IDO Festival and experience The Troubadives and Ute Gremmel-Geuchen live at the Basilica of St. Margareta.
