A documentary charting the story of the new super organ in Piteå, which Benny helped to inaugurate in Piteå in October 2012.
"The world's most modern organ is three storeys high and built of natural materials such as steel, wood and reindeer skin. It stands in Piteå and was inaugurated in October 2012. Here we are following the advent of this gigantic music machine including the inaugural celebration along with Benny Andersson and Orsa spelmän. Also featured are the Music School Chamber Choir under the direction of Erik Westberg, and master organist Gunnar Idenstam."
Benny accompanied organist Gunnar Idenstam on the piano for two songs:
There was also footage, presumably from rehearsals, where you see Benny having a go on the organ itself and playing Wedding.
