Organ concert: Gunnar Idenstam

Organ concert: Gunnar Idenstam Experience a truly extraordinary organ performance by the Swedish master Gunnar Idenstam, who brings fresh life to rarely heard repertoire. The evening opens with sweeping soundtrack suites from iconic films and video games— from the high‑octane theme of Battlefield 1942 to the nostalgic melodies of Minecraft, the heroically charged motif of Black Hawk Down, and the enchantingly cinematic opening of Harry Potter. Idenstam then transports listeners into the grandiose world of Carl Orff’s **Carmina Burana**. His organ‑adapted version magnifies the work’s thunderous drums and lush harmonies, revealing new depths in this classic piece. The finale shines with the electrifying **Metal Angel Suite**, a centerpiece that marries the organ’s metallic pipes with a rock‑inspired vision of angelic beings. As Idenstam himself says, “The music always comes to me from a wordless source… I leave it to the listeners to decide what the soundscapes evoke in their hearts.” **Program** - Joel Eriksson – Main Theme from *Battlefield 1942* - Denez Prigent & Lisa Gerrard – *Gortoz a Ran* from *Black Hawk Down* - Patrick Doyle – *Hogwarts’ Hymn* from *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* - Koji Kondo – *The Legend of Zelda Suite* - Koji Kondo – *Lost Woods* from *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* - C418 (Daniel Rosenfeld) – *Sweden* from the soundtrack to *Minecraft* - John Williams – *Hedwig’s Theme* from *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone* - Hans Zimmer – *Knights of Sangreal* from *The Da Vinci Code* - Carl Orff – Selection from *Carmina Burana* - Gunnar Idenstam – *Metal Angel Suite* **Details & tickets**
