Hear the masterpiece that was ultimately French composer Olivier Messiaen’s last major composition. The wide-ranging Livre du Saint-Sacrement is designed according to Catholic mysticism and a meditation on the mysteries of the Eucharist. This concert is an opportunity to find a sense of peace and truly allow the music to surround you. 

Olivier Messiaen is among the most important composers of twentieth-century classical music. He celebrated love and the light aspects of Christianity. His unique style comes from a powerful faith in God as well as a fascination with birdsong, which is often evident in his music. Balinese rhythms were another source of inspiration. 

Hans-Ola Ericsson is an organist with international credentials. He recorded the collected organ works of Olivier Messiaen in close collaboration with the composer himself before Messiaen passed away in 1992. 

Before the organ concert, the Gothenburg International Organ Festival invites you to a dance performance in the Götaplats foyer at 14:00-14:30. Read more here: DANCE THROUGH HISTORY – Näcken – a Swedish folk tale.
