Before the Red Giant goes into restoration, you can listen to the magisterial sounds of the largest organ in the Netherlands one last time.
On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, a special concert will take place in the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam. This concert marks the last performance on the famous Marcussen main organ before it enters a two-year restoration period. The Marcussen main organ, the largest in the Netherlands, has been an icon of the Laurenskerk since 1973 and has enchanted countless visitors with its majestic sounds. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear the Marcussen main organ in all its glory before it will be silent for two years before restoration.

In het koor van de Laurenskerk bouwen we een pijporgel van de toekomst, dat digitaal te bespelen is: een ‘hyperorgel’. Zo wordt het orgel toegankelijker voor een brede groep musici.
