An after-work concert to kick off the weekend, featuring organ music by historical female composers in Berlin’s oldest surviving church building.
From October 3, 2025, through September 30, 2026, every Friday at the Nikolaikirche Museum, you can hear organ music from past centuries, performed by a rotating cast of organists—mostly women.
Please note: We ask for your understanding that we can only provide a limited number of seats for concerts at the museum. The ticket grants admission to the concert but does not guarantee a seat.
