Letting the organ speak: That is the declared goal of organist Peter Kofler, who, since 2017, has been realising a complete recording of all organ works by J.S. Bach under the title “”OpusBach”” in the Munich church of St. Michael, using a new type of recording technology that acoustically maps the space in its expanse – an invitation to hear Bach in a new way! Kofler studied organ and harpsichord in his hometown of Bolzano in South Tyrol and then in Munich. He performs on both instruments throughout Europe as a soloist, chamber musician with renowned instrumental colleges and also in orchestras under renowned conductors. Since 2008, Peter Kofler, who has won several awards, has been organist at the Jesuit Church of St. Michael and also teaches organ and choral conducting at the Munich Academy of Music.
