Orgelmatinéer
Five Thursdays at 12.15
The 45-minute mini lunchtime concerts, featuring Sweden’s leading organists, are performed on Konserthuset’s massive organ – an orchestra in and of itself with 6,100 pipes. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach is, of course, a recurring feature, but how does I Got Rhythm sound on the organ, or a tango?

Anders S. Börjesson has been the organist at Mariestad Cathedral since 2011, where he gives organ concerts every week. He was trained in Gothenburg by Mikael Wahlin, but also in Paris by Sophie-Veronique Cauchefer-Choplin, organist at Saint-Sulpice, one of Paris's largest churches.
Börjesson is also a composer, and we will hear his Paraphrase on Alice Tegnér's The Squirrel Sits in the Spruce Tree and Chorale Treatments. Additionally, well-known rock songs by the bands Metallica and Queen arranged for organ. The concert opens with Canadian Rachel Laurin's (born in 1961) both evocative and dramatic Prelude and Fugue, and we also get to hear the captivating March in C major by Frenchman Louis Lefébure-Wély (1817–1870).

Latvian Ligita Sneibe is trained as an organist and composer at the Music Academy in Riga, and also holds an organ diploma from the School of Music in Piteå. She has performed around the world but is now most active in Sweden and Latvia, where she often plays on the famous Walcker organ in Riga Cathedral.
Ligita Sneibe begins with music from 2023 by her compatriot Indra Riše: excerpts from Natura siderum, or The Nature of Stars. It's about music inspired by human psychological traits according to the zodiac signs. Three of the twelve parts are composed for organ solo: Libra, Capricorn, and Leo.
We also hear Bach's magnificent and virtuosic Toccata and Fugue in F major and finally music by Naji Hakim, Chant de Joie – Song of Joy. Hakim was born in Beirut but is active in Paris, where he succeeded Olivier Messiaen as organist at Trinité Church some 30 years ago.

Tobias Olofsson has been working as an organist in Nylöse parish in Gothenburg since 2003, where he also obtained his organist degree from the Academy of Music and Drama. Olofsson regularly performs concerts as an organ soloist, as well as in collaboration with symphony orchestras. He is also active as a pianist, accompanist, and arranger.
He begins with Prelude and Fugue in A minor, one of Bach's most beloved and performed organ works. It features explosive drama and breathtaking virtuosity, with the fugue possessing an almost dance-like character. We also hear music by Elfrida Andrée, a pioneering figure in Swedish music. Andrée composed a series of works for organ, including the evocative and melodic Cantilena.
As a contrast, Tobias Olofsson plays well-known themes from Star Wars and Piazzolla's evocative Oblivion and Libertango. He concludes with his own piece titled Improvisation, Passacaglia and Fugue in G minor.
