The combination of oboe and organ opens up a particularly appealing sound space. The oboe, with its overtone-rich and characteristic sound, fits perfectly with the organ. Interestingly, in the concert programs of this duo, there are more arrangements than original compositions. In today's program, only the fantasia by Ludwig Krebs is an original composition. In all other cases, the organ replaces the orchestra, the piano, or - as in Mozart's oboe quartet - the string trio. Since the organ is exceptionally versatile and also holds a small orchestra within itself, it is particularly suitable for arrangements.

The program spans more than three centuries of music history - from the Italian Baroque through Viennese Classicism to impressionistic sound pictures and modern tonal language. It showcases the oboe in all its facets: as a virtuosic solo instrument, as a lyrical singer, and as a sensitive storyteller - accompanied and complemented by the impressive sound world of the organ.

The concert at St. Leodegar in Bad Bellingen brings together two musicians of international stature.
The Georgian oboist Giorgi Gvantseladze was born and raised in Tbilisi. He is one of the most distinguished representatives of his field. His studies took him to Munich and Salzburg. Prizes at renowned international competitions opened the door to a wide-ranging artistic activity across Europe. Since 2010, he has been serving as the solo oboist with the Bavarian State Orchestra.

Gerhard Gnann was the district cantor of the Archdiocese of Freiburg with his office located in Münstertal. In this role, he founded the series "Concerts in St. Trudpert". From 1997 to 2025, Gerhard Gnann was a professor for artistic organ playing at the Hochschule für Musik der Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. He was also the head of the Church Music/Organ department there. In 2003, he was awarded the prize of Johannes Gutenberg University for excellent achievements in teaching.
Gnann has been awarded multiple record prizes - most recently in 2013 with the "ECHO Klassik" and in 2015 for the CD "arranging Bach" on the four organs of Freiburg Minster.
