Göteborgs Konserthus Sing the praises of the organ, Gothenburg Symphony Choir!

Event has already taken place

The Queen of the Concert Hall, the magnificent organ, turns one year old! The one-year anniversary is celebrated during a full day of song and organ marathon. Come and hear West Swedish choirs and our top organists fill the hall with sounds in five unique concerts sunday 23 October.

The finale of the birthday celebration is a concert with the Gothenburg Symphony Choir and the Gothenburg Symphony’s Vocal Ensemble, where you also have the chance to sing along! Gothenburg Symphony Choir has existed for over 100 years and has made a huge number of choir pieces together with Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. The Gothenburg Symphony Vocal Ensemble is composed of twelve talented, dedicated and professional singers. They form an active core of the Gothenburg Symphony Choir and also appear as an independent ensemble.

Johannes Landgren is organist and Katie Thomas choirmaster. The presenter Gary Graden will have us singing so the roof lifts when it’s sing-along time!

Also take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Götaplats foyer before or after the concert and feast on star pastry chef Fredrik Borgskog’s unique pipe pastry, specially made for the organ’s first anniversary.

The new concert hall organ with its 9 000 pipes is behind the stage and the vibrations from the bass pipes extend under the floor all the way to the middle parquet.
