Simon Menges

Hi, my name is Simon.
I'm an organist, pianist and conductor. My repertoire includes all eras of piano and organ literature. However, I'm particularly interested in symphonic music and in arranging orchestral works for the organ. I share some of my work here on YouTube.
For my organ playing I received several international prizes and awards. I regularly give concerts and have played at venues such as Notre Dame de Paris, St. Paul's Cathedral London, Milano Cathedral, Berlin Cathedral, Konzerthaus Berlin, Nidarosdom Trondheim, Arhus Domkirke.
I completed my studies in organ, piano, harpsichord, improvisation, choral and orchestral conducting in Zurich, Dallas, Berlin and Düsseldorf.
Since 2010 I'm the organist and choral director at Evangelische Kirche Arbon (Switzerland) with it's beautiful organ rebuilt by Orgelbau Rieger in 2021.
Before moving to Switzerland I lived in Berlin, where I was assistant organist at Berlin Cathedral with it's large Sauer organ (1905/IV/113).
