Auke de Boer, organist from Dokkum in the Netherlands, presents a sonorous programme by Johann Sebastian Bach, Viennese pieces with reminiscences of the military such as "Adieu mein kleiner Gardeoffizier" and the Radetzky March, as well as "Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald" and Advent songs and the wonderful ragtime "Cake Walk" to go with every Advent biscuit. As always in 2025, the concert ends with the Steigerlied, which also sets the mood for the mountain parade.

The guest concert will be performed by the organist of St Martin's Church in Dokkum and St Vitus Church in Stiens, who has played and composed all over the world. He has given concerts in America and Japan and wrote the music for the automatic chimes in Nagasaki. He was awarded the City and University of Groningen Medal of Honour for his carillon artistry for the city and the University of Groningen.
