The IDO Festival would not be the same without this thrilling concert experience from the very beginning, which has been electrifying audiences for over two decades now. Just as the Rhine is inextricably linked to Düsseldorf, so too is this performance an integral part of the festival.
The combination of sonic power, sensuality and gripping intensity blends the organ perfectly with the ritual sounds of Japanese taiko drums. Under the hands of Hans-André Stamm, the organ unfurls its majestic tones, filling the space of St John’s Church in an ethereal and festive manner. In the current festival year, 2026, the Belgian performance ensemble FENIKS once again makes a striking impression with its dynamic and precise playing, delighting audiences with a unique, contemporary style. The result is an extraordinary experience for the ears and eyes, brimming with creativity and captivating the audience with boundless energy and joy. (Source: IDO Festival)
