New CD has been released by ORGANO PHON!
11/12/2021
The D.O.O.R. project has been on the road with different casts since 2007. Starting from the home church of the founder, Pastor Gerhard Schnitzspahn, it made its way beyond the borders of Darmstadt. Of course, the church organ and the electric guitar are always there. The wind section was added in 2015 and the repertoire grew steadily.
After the press, radio and television had long since become aware of this unique combination, it was time to produce a CD. After the copyrights could be clarified, it was released under the ORGANO PHON label.
After the CD was published, the BILD newspaper took notice of us and John Roth visited us with a photographer in the Johanneskirche.

Successful end of year 2018 - new projects 2019
12/28/2018
The year 2018 ended with concerts in Birkenau and Darmstadt and a second tour to northern Hesse. The D.O.O.R. project played in Wanfried and Witzenhausen in well-attended places of worship.
After four years, bassist Dr. Alfred König and trombonist Stefan Buchberger took over the project and Daniel Massoth joined as the man for the low string tones. He is supported by Christian Schmale, who was already involved in the project in 2015.
In 2019, things will first go west. Two churches in Wiesbaden will be venues for organ and rock music. In autumn we will go north again to Lower Saxony. The year-end concert is planned in Scheden.

mit Pfarrer Dr. Gerhard Schnitzspahn
Wenn Bass-Riffs mit Orgelakkorden verschmelzen, ist in der Darmstädter Johanneskirche wieder Zeit für `Deep Organ on Rock´. So heißt das Musikprojekt, in dem eine Rockband und die Kirchenorgel gemeinsam bekannte Rock- und Popklassiker vortragen.
Im Fernsehgottesdienst erzählt ihre Musik vom Paradies, aus dem der Mensch zwar vertrieben wurde, zu dem es aber einen Weg zurück gibt.
Unter den Mitwirkenden ist auch Samuel Koch, einer der Reformationsbotschafter des Jubiläumsjahres 2017 und Mitglied dieser Kirchengemeinde. Die Musik gestalten Bernhardt Brand-Hofmeister (Orgel), Dr. Alfred König, (E-Bass), Manfred Horschler, (Saxofon, Gesang), Manfred Gerber, (Saxofon, Gitarre), Stefan Distler, (Percussion, Schlagzeug), Mirjam Thöne, (Gesang) und Pfarrer Dr. Gerhard Schnitzspahn ( E-Gitarre).
Benefizkonzert in der Stiftskirche
25.3.2018
The well-attended Diakoniekirche at the Elisabethenstift in Darmstadt experienced an extraordinary concert event on Palm Sunday. The outgoing pastor Rev. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Steubing invited again to support the Elisabethenhospice with this event. The musicians of the D.O.O.R. project, who made guest appearances in the collegiate church in 2015, played their extended program and delighted the audience. Some guests felt "icy cold down their spines" when they"Bohemian Rhapsody" fromqueen or "child in time" fromDeep Purple sounded.
And for a good cause, 724€ could be collected, which will benefit the work of the Elisabethenhospice.
