Organ Concert | Bach Concert in Memory of Gunnel Nilsson

A long-standing and beloved tradition in St. Jacob’s Church is the annual Bach Concert in memory of Gunnel Nilsson. For many years, it has been Mattias Wager who, at these concerts, performs a selection of works from Bach’s enormous output. During his lifetime, Bach managed to write nearly a full day’s worth of organ music — a rich source to draw from!
Gunnel Nilsson was one of the most faithful concertgoers in St. Jacob’s Church. Her family established a fund in memory of Gunnel Nilsson, in support of young promising organists.
