German organist Raphael Attila Vogl began his musical education under the guidance of cathedral organist Ludwig Ruckdeschel in his hometown of Passau. At 18, he was admitted to the University of Catholic Church Music and Music Education in Regensburg, where he studied Organ Performance and Church Music with Stefan Baier and Markus Rupprecht. He later continued his studies with László Fassang at the renowned Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.

In 2020, Vogl completed his Master’s degree in Organ Performance at the Juilliard School in New York, where he studied with Grammy Award-winner Paul Jacobs. He was subsequently accepted into Juilliard’s most advanced academic program, the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA).

A prizewinner at several international competitions, Vogl has been recognized at the International Mendelssohn Organ Competition (Switzerland), the Tariverdiev International Organ Competition (Russia), and the World Bach Competition of the Boulder Bach Festival (USA).

He made his Alice Tully Hall debut in 2020 with the New York premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina’s The Rider on the White Horse as part of Juilliard’s Focus Festival at Lincoln Center.

As a concert organist, Vogl has performed extensively across Europe and North America in distinguished venues including the Berlin Philharmonic, David Geffen Hall (New York City), Marian Anderson Hall (Philadelphia), and Overture Hall (Madison). He has appeared with major ensembles such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, and has collaborated with leading conductors including Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Roderick Cox, Daniele Rustioni, and Marin Alsop.

In addition to the traditional organ repertoire, Vogl is acclaimed for his own transcriptions of orchestral and large-scale works, offering bold new interpretations that expand the expressive range of the instrument. His debut album, Beyond Organ, exemplifies this approach and features his monumental transcription of Max Reger’s Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart — a virtuosic and symphonic reimagining of one of the organ repertoire’s most demanding orchestral adaptations — alongside works such as J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048.
