Experience Tomas Janzon live on July 29th

Tomas Janzon will perform at Haga Church in Gothenburg, Sweden on July 29, 2026. Janzon is a Swedish composer and musician known for his work primarily within the realm of contemporary classical music, often incorporating elements of improvisation and exploring extended vocal techniques. His compositions frequently feature choral works and pieces designed for specific acoustic spaces, emphasizing texture and atmosphere. He has received commissions from various ensembles and institutions throughout Europe.

Haga Church (Hagakyrkan) dates back to 1917, though its roots extend to a medieval chapel on the site. Constructed in the National Romantic style, it’s characterized by its red brick exterior and a distinctive tower. The church replaced an earlier wooden structure that became too small for the growing parish. Architect Lars Swedenborg designed the building, incorporating features inspired by older Swedish church architecture while utilizing modern materials and construction techniques.

The Haga Church is notable for its acoustics, which are considered particularly well-suited for choral and organ music. It serves as an active parish church within the Church of Sweden and also hosts numerous concerts throughout the year, leveraging its unique sonic properties and historical significance within Gothenburg’s cultural landscape.
