Kongsberg Gloger organ
The Gloger Organ in Kongsberg Church in Kongsberg, Norway was built by Gottfried Heinrich Gloger in 1765. Because of damage caused by a fire, the organ was disused from the end of the 19th century.
In January 2001, the Gloger organ was restored. The organ builder Jürgen Ahrend had recreated in the restored Gloger pipes the authentic sounds of old. The restoration has given Kongsberg church international status as a concert church. From 2001 on, the organ has given name to an annual chamber music festival in Kongsberg (Glogerfestspillene), held in January. The organ is also frequently played by visiting international organists, especially during the summer season when the church is hosting a series of concerts named "Kongsberg International organ summer".
