On Sunday there was supposed to be an organ concert in the church with music by David Bowie. Unfortunately we couldn't be there because we had an appointment in the Harz. Fortunately there was a rehearsal of the concert going on and we could enjoy a number of songs by David Bowie. Considering the acoustics of the church it sounded fantastic.
