Hommage à Dag Hammarskjöld

...at Berwaldhallen



Tonight a concert was held in Berwaldhallen, Stockholm, in memory of the Swedish diplomat, economist and author Dag Hammarskjöld (29 July 1905 - 18 September 1961). I was performing in the first part doing music by the Swedish composers Gunnar de Frumerie, Wilhelm Stenhammar and Ture Rangström, among others. My brilliant co-musicians were Mats Widlund (piano), Tova Carron (violin), Filip Gloria (violin), Anna Widlund (viola), Kari Sandnes (cello), Christoffer Lehman (flute) and Jan Holmgren (oboe).
