New festival highlights choir and organ music
Nosaby parish in the vicinity of Kristianstad in Southern Sweden runs a new festival from 31st May 31 this year. Namely Nosaby-Kristianstad Choir and Organ Festival. Here the emphasis is on the two most prevalent Church room instruments: organ and choir - the human voice. The Festival's artistic director and initiator, Urban Rosengren, says : "solo organ music, as well as in combination with choral singing is an often neglected form of art. This festival would give attention to the organ as a fantastic sound and versatile instrument that can express all musical affects, and the Festival are happy to make room for music that shows the organ's ability to reproduce musical joy and humor".
