Organ matinee with Johannes Landgren

Through Konserthuset’s popular organ matinée subscription, audiences get to hear Sweden’s leading organists play the building’s organ – one of the largest in Europe, with 6,100 pipes.  

Johannes Landgren has served as a professor and acting vice-chancellor at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, as well as in the leadership of the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts at the University of Gothenburg. Now based in Mölndal and Gothenburg, he works as a freelance musician and conductor. Landgren has toured internationally and has recorded nearly 40 CDs across a wide range of genres.

Here, he performs his own compositions Hommage à Duke Ellington and Organ Fantasy on Hymn No. 325: In hope my saved soul rejoices. Bach's Fantasia and Fugue in G minor pays tribute to a Dutch colleague, where Bach uses an old Dutch folk melody. We also hear music by Czech composer Petr Eben, Swedish composer Elfrida Andrée, and Scottish composer Thea Musgrave – who was the focus of the International Composer Festival at Konserthuset in 2018.
