On Sunday, January 24, 2027, at 10 a.m., the solemn installation service for the new organist, Yewon Choi, will take place at St. Nikolai Church in Altenbruch. She will assume her position as organist in the Altenbruch-Lüdingworth-Groden parish.

Yewon Choi successfully won the competitive selection process for the position of principal church musician. This is a highly prestigious position due to the two historic organs—by Schnitger and Klapmeyer—which are of inestimable cultural and historical value.
Yewon Choi completed her bachelor’s degree in church music and organ at Yonsei University in Seoul under Prof. Dong-ill Shin. She earned her master’s degree in organ under Prof. Dr. Martin Sander at the University of Music and Drama Munich.

Since 2024, she has been pursuing her concert exam in organ at the University of Music and Drama Hamburg under Prof. Wolfgang Zerer and Prof. Antonio Di Dedda.
