Where can one find consolation in times of anxiety and uncertainty? The text from Isaiah in our central work – the sacred concert for soprano and organ by Thorsten Nilsson – has inspired and guided us: “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.”

We find our consolation through music in the church (Boëllmann, Franck), in prayer (Sundin, Kurme-Gedroica), in our cultural heritage (Lindberg, Molin), and in our faith (Nilsson, Liszt). “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)
