Stockholm Chamber Music: Midnight Songs

Stockholm Chamber Music takes residence in City Museum!

The chamber music series concludes with a virtuoso program where you get to meet Minna Weurlander, one of Europe’s foremost accordionists, in collaboration with the series’ artistic director David Härenstam on classical guitar.

Few instruments blend together better than guitar and accordion, and few instruments have the same special sound of nostalgia, pain, joy, and dreaminess. Historically genre-free and equally beloved by the audience.

During this concert, we will hear works by famous composers such as W.A. Mozart, Philip Glass, and Astor Piazzolla, as well as specially written music by Albert Schnelzer and unique interpretations of composers such as Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and Pat Metheny.
