Step into the warmth of the Konserthuset and let organ music give you hope in All Saints’ Day. A moment’s rest to tunes that gives us time to think about those we miss. Norwegian organist Iver Kleive leaves no one unmoved with his melodic mix of folk songs, jazz and chorales. 

 Examples of beloved pieces and songs that have been given a new look in Iver Kleive’s hands are Bliv kvar hos mig, Blott en dag, Bach’s Air and Morricones Gabriel’s Oboe. The organist and composer from Skien in Norway moves freely between genres such as show, jazz, blues and classical. His album Blå Koral was awarded the Norwegian music prize The Spellemann Prize in 1991. 

Iver Kleive has collaborated with a number of folk and rock musicians as an arranger and studio musician, and in 2008 he was the organ soloist at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. It is a rich musical treasure he brings to Gothenburg. Bring a friend and listen together!

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!
