Trio con Brio Stockholm



They're back!  All you music lovers who've followed Jan Holmgren, Carina Cederwall, and Stig Andersson from their home in Sweden across Minnesota and back will revel in the gentle humor and sensitive musicianship of these longtime friends.  Imagine touring the U.S. with your two best friends, not once, but five times.  At each stop our friends rendezvous with friends from previous concerts.

This time they'll be reminiscing over their initial tour fifteen years ago when they stayed in the home of Pastor David Anderson, St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Grand Rapids.  At the time David was serving the Deerwood congregation and via a postcard had referred Jan to the Grand Rapids Summer Series Committee.  Zion graciously hosted their first three concerts here, but due to scheduling difficulties, we have a brand new venue for them and you.  Please make your way over to the Alliance Church on 21st S. and Airport Road.  


 TRIO CON BRIO STOCKHOLM’s program for June 21st is entitled “Music Without Limits—In Our Way.” The performance will include music from Lars-Erik Larsson, Aram Chatjaturjan, Issac Albeniz, Leroy Anderson, Erick Korngold, Ignaz Friedman and will conclude with the well known Abba hit “Thank You for the Music” written by former Abba members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson!

Darcy Reich and I have both been listening to the CD's we purchased on their previous tours and looking forward to additional music we can savor throughout the years.  A mellow combination of oboe/ flute, piano, and vocal, these are the easy listening classics you can visit with friends over or sip your favorite beverage as you listen to the loons on the lake. CD's are only $10 at the door so come early, bring your friends, and plan to enjoy a tasty church luncheon ($6) following the concert, which is, as always, free.  We will, however, pass the plates on this one to help the Trio with some of their travel expenses from Stockholm, Sweden.  

The concert starts sharply at 12:00 noon, Tuesday, June 14 at the Alliance Church on Airport Road.
