About the program: When Hans Pålsson visits the Klosterkyrkan, he invites the audience on a journey through the ages from Bach, chronologically up to the present. The pieces that are performed are separate pieces that have thus not been composed as movements in sonatas and the like, but have a touch of "fantasies", originating in improvisation.
