“Möte i Mixturen” is a duo, album, a concert program and a meeting between the folk musician and saxophone player Pär Moberg, and the organ player and professor in artistic research Karin Johansson, both active at the academy of music in Malmö, Sweden. In this program, Swedish, Arabic and Jewish folk music andf Pär's own compositions meet gigants of the organ repertoire such as Couperin and Buxtehude. Together they experiment with the possibilities and sounds of their respective instruments and traditions.
Since their release of their first CD in 2026, the duo has played several concerts in Sweden, both in Karin´s home church of Viken and in other churches. The duo can perform anywhere where there is an organ, and as organs are very individual, the music will sound unique in each performance depending on the instrument! The program can stand alone or could of course also be integrated into church services.
“With his fellow musicians, Moberg has created an album filled with warmth and charm. Something that is well worth listening to – especially so in these troublesome days.”
Thomas Wihlman, Opulens magazine, May 2020
“The album is characterized by an openness and security of form, a controlled lust for experiments, and very successful crossings of borders. […]. Both magnificent and majestic”:
Bo Bjelvehammar, Lira May 2020.
