Zu Gast an der Rieger-Orgel in der Propsteikirche war die litauische Konzertorganistin Jurate Bundzaite. Mit virtuosem Zugriff interpretierte sie farbig und durchgestaltet Werke des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, wobei sie quasi auf einem diagonalen Streifzug durch Europa bei sechs Komponisten einkehrte.

Am Sonntag eröffnete der Förderverein Geistliche Musik an St. Peter und Paul in Straelen die Konzertsaison. Den Anfang machte mit Jurate Bundzaite aus Vilnius (Litauen) eine erstklassige Solistin, die an der Orgel ein interessantes und abwechlungsreiches Programm bot.
