Fundraising Initiated for the Installation of a New Organ in the Meissen Cathedral
🌐 Meißen Cathedral is poised for a grand upgrade with a brand-new organ! Set to happen in 2027, the renovation will cost a whopping €3 million, and they've dubbed it the "century project." Fundraising, as you might've guessed, is already underway.
Today marked a significant milestone as Meissen's Mayor, Olaf Raschke, swung by to dish out a €1,000 donation to Domkantor Thorsten Goebel and Dompfarrer Andreas Beuchel.
Now, let's spill the (organ) beans on who's brewing up this symphonic masterpiece. The esteemed Dresden organ building firm, Jehmlich, and Eifel-based organ building powerhouse, Weimbs, will collaborate on the project.
Here's the cherry on top: €500,000 of the total cost will be sourced from donations, straight from the hearts of folks like you and me. So, open your wallets and help make history!
On a side note, if you can't find project updates, news, or fundraising progress elsewhere, remember to check the cathedral's official website or reach out to local German news outlets, community newspapers, crowdfunding platforms, or cultural and historical preservation organizations. Happy hunting! 🎉🎨🎶🕛️
