World-renowned violinst open Sweden's oldest festival
The 68th Kullabygden Music Festival opens on July 6th with Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto performed by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra directed by Daniel Blendulf and with Janine Jansen as soloist. Other performers during the week include the soprano Gitta Maria Sjöberg with the klezmerband Mames Babegennush, Nisse Landgren plays with jazzguitarist Johan Norberg, Trio con Brio Copenhagen plays Bartók and Brahms with clarinetist Olii Leppäniemi and Lill Lindfors and Sven-Bertil Taube performs with Anders Ekdahl's Quartet.
In the same spirit as when Torsten Nilsson started the Festival in 1945 at Väsby Klockargård with Haydn's The Seasons, so the Kullabygden Music Festival are rapped up in 2013, with Mahler and Strauss in Brunnby Church at midnight on July 12, performed by Michael Weinius and Bengt Åke Lundin, and with the Swingle Singers in Krapperup Music Hall on the final day!
