But the St. Burchardi Church in Halberstadt is the concert hall for the World's slowest concert: ORGAN²/ASLSP (As SLow aS Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage and the subject of one of the longest-lasting musical performances yet undertaken. The performance of the organ version at St. Burchardi Church began in 2001 and is scheduled to have a duration of 639 years, ending not earlier than in 2640.

What an inspiring notion, to imagine that future generations will keep this project going for another 627 years from now! I'm so fascinated by the idea and its implementation, that I decided to raise substantially my travel expenses by purchasing at the price of € 1,000 ($ 1,375) the "sound year" 2557, the year of my 600th birthday. This includes a memorial plaque, 1 out of 640, to be placed in the St. Burchardi Church soon, just in case that I should not be able to attend personally my birthday party on September 1, 2557.
