Concerts, status quo, challenges & goals.
Craig Humber,
Born in Newfoundland, Canada, he first studied physics and mathematics before his love of organ music led him to Leipzig and Vienna. As a prizewinner of several scholarships and competitions, he was able to specialize in the period-accurate organs of Gottfried Silbermann and also in Romantic organ music.
THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE VOTIVE CHURCH
The historic organ in the Votivkirche was built in 1878 by the renowned organ builder EF Walcker and inspected by Anton Bruckner. Renowned composers and organists have treasured this instrument, played it, and used it as a model for their sound. Fortunately, the instrument remains in almost original condition and is considered one of the most important organs in Europe.
