At the age of 20, Julian Emanuel Becker is the youngest performer of this organ summer. He began his studies at the Hanover University of Music at the age of 13 and has been causing a stir at competitions ever since, including as the youngest prizewinner at St Albans in 2023. In 2024 he won the Leipzig Bach Competition and in 2025 the German Music Competition Prize, an award that only a handful of organists have received after Kay Johannsen. Julius Reubke (1834-58) was barely older than Julian today when he completed his large-scale sonata, namely 23, a year before his early death. Reubke's symphonic poem leads from a sombre mood to liberated, rousing pathos.
