Bergen orgelsommer - Bergen International Organ Festival - Yuka Ishimaru in St. Paul Church

Further detail will follow.

Yuka Ishimaru (Organ)

Yuka Ishimaru won the Grand prix and Dand & Polly Bales Prize at the 22nd International Organ Competition Grand prix de Chartres in 2010. From 2011, she started a concert tour in Europe and Japan and appears at various festivals and major venues.

St. Paul's Church is the Catholic church of Bergen. The church houses an organ built by the renowned Canadian firm Casavant Frères. This instrument is exceptionally rich and expressive in sound, representing a tonal and voicing tradition distinct from that of most Northern European organs.
