And why do some say it’s “a whole orchestra in itself”? Thomas Trotter is here to tell us more.

It’s been a little while since we last brought you an interview with a special guest on «In Tune»! This week, we are lucky to be joined by Birmingham City Organist Thomas Trotter, who paid the Philharmonie a memorable visit in the 2023/24 season. Why is the organ called “The King of Instruments”? Can you train both (!) your hands and feet to play simultaneously? How does a touring organist approach the exciting challenge of encountering a different organ every concert night? We chat about all this and more with our guest before catching up with Josh Oudendijk to listen to a selection of epic organ music.
