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 is a professor and acting rector at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, as well as a freelance organist and conductor. He hails from Arjeplog and was educated at the University of Gothenburg's Academy of Music and Drama. He has toured around the world and recorded a large number of CDs in various 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.
