Works for Organ and Accordion Duo is a Wednesday evening classical concert held at Vor Frue Kirke, the church in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The church sits at Nørregade 8, in the Kbh. K. district, so it is an easy walk from the city's centre for anyone already exploring the old town.
The programme
The evening brings together two very different sets of music. The first part features works by J.S. Bach and Astor Piazzolla, performed for accordion duo by Yiwei Lin and Aika Terasawa. Bach's counterpoint and Piazzolla's tango-influenced writing make an unusual pairing, and hearing them played by two accordions offers a fresh way into both composers.
The second part turns to the organ and trumpet, with pieces by Jean Langlais, Rolf Wallin and Christian Præstholm. The organ and trumpet pieces are performed by organ students and trumpet students, so the concert also gives a glimpse of emerging talent alongside the duo.
