Organ music can be considered a specific contribution of Christians to world culture, as organs are present almost exclusively in churches.
The Lebanese Pipe Organ Week is a great cultural occasion that allows everyone (of any religious affiliation) to listen for free to a musical repertoire, to which people would not otherwise have access, since pipe organs are mainly used in churches for religious celebrations.
The concerts will be broadcast in live streaming on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/solorganfestival (UTC/GMT +3)
