Per Ekström in concert
PER EKSTRÖM "The Sun Painter" is perhaps Öland's most famous artist. In this unique concert for two opera singers and piano trio, his artistry and contemporaries are portrayed at VIDA Museum & Art Gallery.
Music by Claude Debussy, Lili Boulanger, Francis Poulenc, Dora Pejaĉević, Maurice Ravel and Hans Gurstad-Nilsson, among others.
Mezzo-soprano Solgerd Isalv and baritone Karl Söderström interpret Per Ekström's contemporaries in sounds and words together with a piano trio consisting of Ophelia Kamkar - violin, Zéphyrin Rey-Bellet - cello and Bo Wannefors - grand piano. With interwoven letter quotes and poems, actress Anna Jankert draws a personal portrait of the man and artist Per Ekström. We also get to hear a completely new work by Öland-based composer Hans Gurstad, music inspired by Ekström's world of motifs and life story.
