Inauguration concert on April 15th 2012 by Kai Krakenberg
pieces by Bach, Widor, Vierne and Dubois were presented.

The limited size of the Chapel required an extraordinary solution.
Inspired by the 'orgues de salon' of the famous french organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811-1899),
we realised the aesthetics of his french romantic sound concept in Husum.
Achiving a contemporary synthesis was our primary priority.
