We would like to inform you that Klosterklang to our great happiness has become so popular that people start queuing well before the doors open. We therefore urge everyone to be responsible for putting on appropriate clothing for the weather so that they can queue outside until the doors open. We would like to remind you that you cannot reserve a seat for a relative, but everyone who wants to go must be physically present.

About Lund Vocal Ensemble
Lunds Vokalensemble consists of just over 40 singers. Since its inception in 1990, the choir has worked with a very broad repertoire, from Renaissance music to completely new works. The choir's clean and transparent sound is still a hallmark, but after Ragnar Bohlin took over as artistic director in 2023, the dynamics have developed and the expression has broadened.

About the concert series:
The Klosterklang concert series is organized by the Sankt Peters Kloster parish in collaboration with Sensus. The Klosterklang concert series started in January 2024. One Friday a month, you are invited to a concert to end the work week and start the weekend with a moment of sonorous music under the inviting vaults of the Klosterkyrkan.
In the Spring program we also have a special monastery sound Saturday.
