Organ thunderstorm - lunchtime concert with organ tour
Overview
Intro
Experience a 30-minute concert in the organ loft and then accompany the court organist to the church attic to view the rain machine.
The legendary organ thunderstorms have been heard in the Hofkirche St. Leodegar Lucerne since 1862. Not least thanks to the combined use of the unique rain machine and the monumental façade pipes, the tradition continues to this day. In summer 2026, you will also have the opportunity to experience a 30-minute lunchtime concert with organ thunderstorms in the organ loft on four Tuesdays at 12.15 pm. Afterwards, court organist Stéphane Mottoul will guide you through the organ's remote organ, where you can view the world's only known rain machine from 1862 in the church's attic.
The organ, whose façade dates back to 1640, houses the largest and heaviest organ pipe of its time, which is an impressive 10.7 meters high and weighs 383 kg. With a total weight of an incredible 30 tons and 7374 pipes on 111 stops, it is a truly imposing instrument. At the concerts in the gallery, you can not only see and hear the opulence of the organ, but also feel it and watch the fascinating work of the organist with his hands and feet.
This year's concerts have the motto "Bach and Storm" and are part of the International Bach Network Festival to mark the 100th anniversary of Karl Richter's birth, organized in cooperation with the CPE Bach Academy Hamburg.
Each storm is individually designed!
