St.Mark’s Church in Zagreb’s Old Town will receive a new organ worth 450,000 Euros built by German craftsman, Wolfgang Eisenbarth.
St. Mark’s Church is the first church in the written Croatian history to have had an organ (1363 or 1359, depending on sources).
The new musical instrument was built over the course of last year using the historical facade of the organ case from 1890 and is a replacement for the old that was too damaged to justify repairs.
The organ’s construction was financed in part by the City of Zagreb and private donations collected by the Church’s pastor, Franjo Prstec.
The new organ will be blessed by Zagreb's Archbishop, Cardinal Josip Bozanic during the 11 o’clock mass this coming Sunday. Another celebration is scheduled for the same evening at 19:30, when the organ is going to be presented to Zagreb's public.
Well-known Croatian organ players Ante Knesaurek, Alen Kopunovic-Legetin and Pavlo Masic will play the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Charles Tournemire, Marcel Dupre, Henry Mulet and Charles-Marie Widor.
