Now this year’s Kalv Festival 8-13 August 2023 begins: THE SOUNDING HOUSES IN KALV!

This year’s Kalv festival begins with three days of three house concerts, a vesper and a vernissage. Ensemble Lipparella (Tuesday and Wednesday), ensemble mosaik (Wednesday), Non–Piano Ensemble (Thursday), 40F and Peter Gustavsson‘s painting (vernissage with concert on Thursday) frame Tuesday to Thursday. As night approaches on Thursday, three nightly performances begin (Thursday to Saturday by Liv Kristin Holmberg, which ends with a ceremony at midnight on Saturday! Don’t forget to pre-book a place for both house concerts and performances, info@kalvfestival.se

During the festival weekend, we then throw ourselves between additional sounding rooms in Kalv. The speaker orchestra Audiorama presents audiovisual works of art (Friday) and sound art story for children (Saturday) in Kalvs schoolhouse (Saturday, a children’s day where Maria Gull and Matilda Odqvist also lead rhythm for the little ones on Saturday morning), Non-Piano Ensemble (Friday), ensemble Gageego! (Saturday) and ensemble mosaik (Saturday) give sound to Kalv’s church, the flute quartet 40F makes Kalvsjöholmbolaget’s workshop sound. Together with the Non-Piano Ensemble, 40F also sets the tone for Kalv’s forests during the traditional pilgrimage on Sunday morning.

At 12.00 on Sunday, the festival ends in Kalv’s church in a concert where the common thread is a cantata by Handel from the early 18th century. A concert where conductor and harpsichordist Mark Tatlow perform together with ensemble Lipparella and singer Emily Pahlawan.
