•●The Official Video Site of Concert Organist Xaver Varnus●• The Varnus Organ Hall needs your help. We are asking the community's support to restoring and operating Varnus Hall, Canada's only private organ concert venue owned by Xaver Varnus, to provide a worthy home for organists, famous artists and young talent alike, from around the world to perform, and broadcast their concerts online. We are grateful to you if you can help our work with any donations. “The Show Must Go On“ - Organist Xaver Varnus pays tribute to Freddie Mercury. Filmed live by Mate Vargha on the official 55th Birthday Concert of Xaver Varnus on May 5, 2019 in the Church of St. Ladislaus in Budapest-Kőbánya. Special thanks to Mayor Robert Antal D. Kovacs, Town Clerk Dr. Krisztián Szabó, Rev. Attila Balogh and Mr. András Benedek, Director of the Music. Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, Germany. “Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould“ (The Globe & Mail, Canada's National Newspaper).
