At 7:30 p.m. on Monday August 19, the San Diego International Organ Festival features a public concert by Swedish organist GUNNAR IDENSTAM. According to Gramophone: “His organ compositions occupy their own universe — part hard, progressive rock, part elfin folklore, part nave-shaking French symphony. Idenstam’s touch of the organ is as funky as it is majestic.” A busy and successful career in Europe has kept Idenstam from visiting the United States, until now! The San Diego International Organ Festival has the honor and privilege of presenting him in the US. Concert Program:
