Orgel & Lyrik · organ and poetry at the Luisenkirche, Berlin-Charlottenburg
Since May 2025, contemporary poets have read at the Luisenkirche in Berlin, and Jack Day answers them at the organ – with music from Sweelinck and Bach to the present and in free improvisation. The series is curated by Thomas Wohlfahrt, founder of the Haus für Poesie. Selected excerpts are broadcast by Deutschlandfunk Kultur. Readings are mostly in German.
