24 November 2022 marks the 300th anniversary of Johann Adam Reincken’s (1643–1722) death. Reincken was organist at the Hauptkirche St. Katharinen in Hamburg, a central figure in the Collegium Musicum, and co-founder of the Oper am Gänsemarkt. He is widely regarded as a leading figure of the North German organ school and a “source of influence on Johann Sebastian Bach that can hardly be overestimated” (Emery & Wolff 2001). Yet despite this, his own œuvre has so far received only cursory attention, mostly in the form of specialized studies. The task of this symposium, which ranges over the socio-cultural context, the material culture, the music-theoretical writings, and the compositions themselves, is to better understand Reincken's work and so to redefine his place in both local and European musical and cultural history.

 

We invite proposals for 20 minute paper presentations on any topics related to the conference themes. Paper may be presented in German, French, or English. The symposium will take place on site, at different venues in Hamburg. Only in exceptional cases, contributions might be streamed into the lecture halls (without online audience). Participation is free of charge.
