BACKGROUND
During 2019-2021, the Organ Academy carried out the project "Swedish 18th century organs", which presents a selection of Sweden's best-preserved organs from the 18th century in an open database. As a follow-up to this project, "Organ Hunting in West Sweden" is now launched, where each instrument is presented with newly recorded video and audio documentation, interviews with organ experts and music examples by and with the organist Sietze de Vries from Groningen in the Netherlands.

In Sweden, there is an internationally unique presence of preserved organs. These constitute an important, but also relatively unknown cultural heritage.

PURPOSE
The project aims to make this cultural heritage accessible via audio files and video "walk-throughs" of the organs.

OBJECTIVE
The overall goal of the project is to publish on the internet an openly available set of presentations of a selection of West Swedish organs in Västra Götaland, where the instruments are presented with sound and moving images.

The project is a part of West Sweden Organ Vision (Orgelvision Väst) and made possible by a grant from the Västra Götaland region.
