We had the opportunity to listen to this young and talented German organist at the second international festival "Organ of St. Anastasia" in June 2025. The cooperation that has begun will continue at the third international festival when Raphael will again be a guest in July 2026 at the Zadar Cathedral of St. Anastasia.

Everyone who attended his impressive music performance was convinced of his virtuosity, so we eagerly await the program that Raphael will prepare for us to perform in July 2026.
