The winter darkness prevails outside, but here the light is warm and welcoming. Come to a concert and listen to the shimmering tones of the organ. We celebrate the return of light and organ master Hans Davidsson is our musical guide.

The ancient Swedish tradition of celebrating light fair is ancient. What in the world of the church is called kyndelsmäss, or Mary’s light mass, is a holiday when the living candle becomes a central point and gives strength to look forward.

Organist Hans Davidsson plays music for the season. Let the vibrations from the concert hall organ’s 9,000 pipes cause the darkness to dissipate and the body to wake up and prepare.

Listen

Get to know organist Hans Davidsson.

More than 9000 organ pipes

The organ is called “the queen of instruments” and for a good reason: no other acoustic instrument is so varied in sound and dynamics, from the weakest, solitary tone to massive chords that make it vibrate in floors and walls. Join the tour inside the fascinating instrument together with Hans Davidsson from Göteborg International Organ Academy!

Saturday 3 February 2024: The event ends at approx. 13.30
