An evening between saxophone and organ sound in Ulm

The 4th Ulm City Organ Concert brings a particularly colorful live experience to the stage on June 20, 2026, at the Martin Luther Church at Ehinger Tor. Christian Segmehl, one of Germany's most sought-after saxophonists, meets here the queen of instruments: the organ from 1928. Admission is free, donations are welcome. Starting from 5:15 PM, a concert introduction will set the mood for the evening.

Between warm breath and mighty pipe work

The combination of saxophone and organ is one of the most captivating dialogues in chamber music. Here, the flowing tone of the saxophone merges with the grand spatial effect of the organ to create a sound architecture that makes the acoustics of a church directly palpable. Works by Bédard and Whitbourn play precisely on this contrast: finely drawn lines, radiant harmonies, and a stage performance that shapes tension from restraint.

Christian Segmehl: a name with weight in the classical scene

Christian Segmehl was born in Biberach an der Riß, studied in Munich and at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and has performed with numerous renowned orchestras both domestically and internationally. His stations include, among others, the Symphony Orchestra of the BR and the Stuttgart Philharmonic. His work ranges from duo programs to international organ concert series, and his discography includes the CDs Saxophone plus and Aggro. This experience is immediately evident in a live program: precise timing, secure orchestration in ensemble play, and a fine sense of dramatic arcs.

The Martin Luther Church as a sound space

The Martin Luther Church at Ehinger Tor is closely associated with the musical life in Ulm as a concert venue. The address Zinglerstraße 66 is centrally located, the venue is well connected to the transport hub Ehinger Tor, making it attractive for visitors from Neu-Ulm and the region. Especially for organ music, the sacred space offers that mix of openness, reverberation, and intimacy that makes a concert not only audible but physically experienceable.

Anticipation of a concert with true radiance

Anyone looking for a free concert of high artistic quality in Ulm gets a rare opportunity here: great expressiveness, fine chamber music coordination, and a program that has already generated excitement in the pre-reporting for the live experience. The 4th Ulm City Organ Concert promises an evening where audience, space, and music connect to create a special concert moment.

Conclusion: This concert convincingly combines virtuosity, church acoustics, and emotional closeness. Anyone wanting to experience saxophone and organ in an atmospheric live setting should mark June 20, 2026, and not miss the evening at the Martin Luther Church.
