The making of the organ in Gothenburg Concert Hall

The organ in Gothenburg Concert Hall, Sweden, is built by Rieger Orgelbau in Austria, an extremely complex work that has been going on for many years. Manufacture unites woodwork, metalwork, aural knowledge, drawing, electronics, work with different materials such as leather, felt, and synthetic materials, as well as assembly work across the world.
The project began 2017 with a thorough prestudy, performed by a team of international organ experts, employed by Higab through the Gothenburg International Organ Academy. This group have assisted the organ builders, property owner Higab, and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra with artistic guidance, technical advice, and quality control throughout the process.
When the concert hall’s architect, Nils Einar Eriksson (1899-1978) created the Gothenburg Concert hall he had a vision of a world-class concert hall organ: an organ optimally placed right next to the orchestra, which, alongside it, would be able to form a unified tonal body. This vision is now reality, october 2021.
