Magnus Lindgren with friends

Across three concerts in the Grünewald Hall this autumn, Magnus Lindgren has invited musical friends – one international guest per occasion. This intimate venue features a rarely used stage platform that rises from the centre of the floor, creating a space for musical encounters with the audience seated all around. A jazz ring, of sorts.

First up is Italian artist Chiara Civello – vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist. On this occasion, she sings and plays guitar. Her style is characterised by openness, and it’s neither traditional jazz nor something that could quite be called pop – let’s simply call it Chiara Civello. She has released a handful of albums.

Magnus Lindgren’s artistry, too, is marked by openness and curiosity. Over the years, the jazz musician Lindgren has explored everything from Brazilian samba to Swedish folk music. For 20 years, he also co-led Konserthuset’s own big band, the Blue House Jazz Orchestra, together with trumpeter Peter Asplund. He has released seven albums and in recent years collaborated with artists such as John Beasley and Germany’s SWR Big Band.

The second of this autumn’s musical meetings features the young but already highly acclaimed English saxophonist, bandleader and composer Emma Rawicz. She tours internationally and is involved in a wide range of collaborations. Her latest album, Chroma (2023), received great critical praise.

The final guest in the series is German pianist Olivia Trummer, who has studied both classical and jazz piano. Her formative years at the Manhattan School of Music in the jazz capital of New York, combined with her deep roots in classical music, continue to serve as a lasting source of inspiration. She has released around ten albums to date.
