Rita Kály-Kullai

Church organist

For a long time, I thought that music was an instrument of self-expression, but then I discovered that there was much more depth to it. When you no longer want to "sing" about your own feelings and your goal is not achieving "self-fulfillment" anymore, but you simply get dissolved in music you play. It is not you who plays the music, but the music that plays itself through you. This is catharsis to me, art at its fullest, and that is what I aim to accomplish.

The strict order of Baroque music, the soaring sound of Romantic works and the bold musical moves of the 20th century can all form part of a concert.

"The church organ is a beautiful instrument. Its sound involves the human voice and the roar of thunder, that is the voice of God. The church organ has her own soul. She can pray, cry, sigh, rejoice, be afraid, tremble, comfort and bless people. The church organ has wings that can take a person’s devout thoughts to heaven.
