FINLAND 100 YEARS • SEPTEMBER 7 ! 10, 2017 • REFORMATION 500 YEARS En ny musikfestival ser dagens ljus och låter sig höra: OrganSpace Stockholm! Orgel är en av världens äldsta instrument med en ovanlig historia och stilistisk mångfald, såväl genom olika epoker som genom olika kulturlandskap. Knap- past något annat instrument smälter ihop och kommunicerar på så fascineran- de sätt med de rum den klingar i: I kyrkor eller profana rum som Stockholms Stadshus, i biosalonger eller helt oväntade salar som reaktorhallen på KTH. År 2017 ras Reformationens 500-årsjubileum och Finlands självständighets 100-årsjubileum – inspiration för de elva konserterna och många av de olika workshops som ingår i första upplagan av OrganSpace Stockholm. Vi önskar er många magiska konsertupplevelser! A new music festival is here to be enjoyed: OrganSpace Stockholm! Organs are one of the oldest instruments in the world with an unusual history and multitude of styles, through both di erent eras and di erent cultures. There is hardly another instrument that blends together and communicates so fascinating- ly with the spaces it is played in: in churches or public venues such as Stockholm’s City Hall, cinemas or surprising places such as the reactor chamber at the Royal Technical College. 2017 marks the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation and the 100th Anniver- sary of Finland’s Independence - inspiration for the eleven concerts and many of the various workshops which will be part of the rst ever Organ Space Stockholm. We hope you enjoy many magical concert moments together with us! 2 ORGANSPACE |2017 Våra konserter kan klinga vidare ... Musik kan förändra liv. Under de sista tjugo åren har tiotusentals pojkar och ickor i demokratiska republiken Kongo tvingats vara barnsoldater. Ett utbild- ningscentrum hos Baptistkyrkan i Bukavu/Kongo ger ungdomar möjlighet till en nystart, t ex som instrumentbyggare. De esta av de drygt 800 ungdomar ck som barn aldrig chans till utbildning, de blev o er och vittne till tortyr, våldtäkter och mord. Instrumentbyggandet ger dessa unga människor nya perspektiv, och gitarrer ur verkstaden i Bukavu har redan blivit berömda och spelas av många kända professionella musiker i Afrika och Europa. Inträde till alla konserter inom festivalen OrganSpace Stockholm är gratis, men vi ber Er om en generös gåva för projektet Gitarrer istället för gevär som drivs av tyska organisationen ”Brot für die Welt”. Our concerts keep sounding out… Music can change lives. For the last twenty years, tens of thousands of boys and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been exploited as child soldiers.

The majority of these over 800 youngsters never had ac- cess to schooling and were instead the victims of and witnesses to torture, rape and murder. Making musical instruments a ords these young people new perspectives and opportunities. Guitars from the workshop in Bukavu are already famous and are used by many professional musicians in Africa and Europe. We o er free entry to all concerts in the festival Organ Space Stockholm.
