Background




The issue has been brewing for a while but now it is time to get going.

The organ of the Swedish Church in Höör was built in 1961. It is a typical example of the universal organ type that branched out of the organ movement the second half of the 20th century. Although rather well voiced it is constructed of inferior materials and has started to deteriorate. The prospect which echoes the organs of P G Andersen in Denmark, now seems to lack in harmony when seen with the altarpiece and pulpit of high baroque. Something has to be done.

The preparations started already 10 years ago and has been accelerating ever since. In 2008 funding was secured and Anders Johnsson was contracted as consultant to the project. The finale of the journey has begun.
