The organ in Konserthuset Stockholm, with its magnificent façade, is one of the most recognisable in Europe – and with 6,100 pipes, also one of the largest.
The season’s first organ matinée features Konserthuset’s own organist, Ulf Norberg. He is also responsible for programming the entire series and is passionate about presenting the rich organ repertoire to a broad audience. Ulf Norberg also serves as organist at Hedvig Eleonora Church in Östermalm.
In this programme, he highlights British organist and composer Jennifer Bates (1944–2020), known in part for her recordings of the complete organ works of Messiaen, César Franck and Felix Mendelssohn. Her Homage to 1685 pays tribute to two giants of the Baroque era – Handel and Domenico Scarlatti – both born in that very year.
Also included is Ravel’s tribute to another Baroque master: François Couperin. Originally written for piano, the work is structured as a suite, with each movement dedicated to the memory of a friend who fell during the First World War.

Joakim Andersson has been organist at Engelbrekts Church in Stockholm since autumn 2024. Prior to that, he was organist at the Staffan Church in Gävle and a prominent figure in the city’s musical life.
The concert opens with music by English composer Gustav Holst: an organ arrangement of Mars, the haunting movement from his orchestral suite The Planets. Between Holst and the German composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert’s Drei Impressionen, we hear a short piece by Swedish composer Sara Wennerberg-Reuter: När löven falla (“When the Leaves Fall”). Like her contemporary Karg-Elert, she studied with Carl Reinecke in Germany, and also pursued composition studies in Berlin with Max Bruch.
Joakim Andersson, also active as a composer, concludes the programme with his own Staffan Rhapsody.

Now he returns to Konserthuset with a jazz-themed concert. Experience organ renditions of classic jazz numbers such as Take the A Train, Ellington’s Come Sunday and Bart Howard’s Fly Me to the Moon. The programme also includes Monica Dominique’s beautiful Tillägnan (Dedication) and two of Gershwin’s most iconic pieces: I Got Rhythm and Rhapsody in Blue.

The organ at Konserthuset Stockholm, with its magnificent façade, is one of the most famous in Europe – and with 6,100 pipes, also one of the largest.
At this matinee, we meet young German organist Jan Liebermann (born 2005), who in recent years has taken the organ world by storm. He regularly performs in Europe’s most important churches and concert halls for organ music, including St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg, St. Jacob’s Church in Lübeck, the Philharmonie in Essen, Southwark Cathedral in London, and many more. He also has a huge following on social media, with his recordings reaching millions of views.
For his concert at Konserthuset Stockholm, Liebermann presents an all-Bach programme, beginning with the world’s most famous organ work: Toccata and Fugue in D minor. The programme continues with a selection of Bach pieces in arrangements by celebrated organ composers and virtuosos – including the Chaconne and the Air.

Starting in autumn 2024, Robert Bennesh is organist and choral director at Uppsala Cathedral. He previously served as cathedral organist at Lund Cathedral, where he was responsible for the well-established Saturday concert series for many years. He regularly appears as a soloist and has a strong interest in contemporary music, which has led to numerous commissions and premieres.
For this concert, he presents music by English composer Alfred Hollins and American composer Horatio Parker – known not only for his organ works but also for having taught composer Charles Ives at Yale University, where Robert Bennesh himself also studied.
The programme also includes Astronomical by English composer Judith Bingham – a work commissioned and premiered by Bennesh in celebration of the 900th anniversary of Lund Cathedral in 2023. The title refers to the church’s famous astronomical clock from 1425.
