You are going on a journey: the countries of Northern Europe stretch over a vast area, larger than many of us can imagine. Music is a significant connector in these countries: music is a way to pass on stories and experience togetherness.
Let yourself be carried away during the concert by the folk dances in the Sonderho bridal suite. The stirring accompaniment sounds like a storm at sea in Latvian folk songs. Concrete poetry, each word as a standalone entity, in the work of Pelle Gudmundson-Holmgreen. The endless sounds of Gjeilo and Nystedt, in which the intangible is brought closer. Lastly, the mass by Jansson, in which the familiar text of the Catholic mass is set to traditional Swedish musical dance forms. Music to immerse yourself in, in all its breadth.
The audience will have the opportunity to listen to the first part of the concert lying down to better appreciate the music. There are 50 ‘lying places’ available; those who wish to take advantage of this should bring their own mat. Chairs will be available for the second part. The entire concert can also be listened to while seated.
