Listen to the next generation of singers and instrumentalists studying at the Academy of Music and Opera at Mälardalen University, housed in Västerås Castle. The students present chamber music and solo works from the Nordic countries, Europe, and North America. The programme includes both newly composed and well-known repertoire – a spring-inspired mix full of life and renewal.

A resonant panorama of Nordic and international choral lyricism unfolds as InCantus presents music that moves between intimacy, rhythmic vitality, and spiritual wonder. Music by Oskar Lindberg, David Wikander, Arvo Pärt, Karl Jenkins, Agneta Sköld among others.

Lars-Erik Larsson’s A God Disguised is a beloved Swedish classic, a favorite work for many Swedes. The text by Hjalmar Gullberg, written during the troubled times of the 1930s, captures hope, compassion, and human dignity. Gullberg drew inspiration for his poem from the myth of the god Apollo, who wanders among humans in disguise — an allegory of the divine being present without being seen. Stina Ekblad serves as narrator when the piece is performed by the Storkyrkan Chamber Choir and the Stockholm Cathedral Choir, with Miah Persson and Karl Söderström as soloists

Welcome to a magical summer evening in Storkyrkan, where the power of music unites the heavenly and the earthly. Under the direction of Gary Graden, S:t Jacob’s Chamber Choir presents a concert filled with light, resonance, and heartfelt expression.

Storkyrkan is visited by choirs from Denmark and Norway, who together with S:t Jacob’s Vocal Ensemble present a program in which older music is given new life through modern interpretations. We are invited to hear Nordic sonorities in the meeting between tradition and renewal. Music by Henry Purcell, Bo Holten, Edvard Grieg, among others.
