19.00 // PALLADIUM MALMÖ

Vital, lyrical, groovy, and infectiously playful, this concert will feature the chamber orchestra Musica Vitae merging with Nordic – one of Sweden's most influential folk music bands. Nordic's sparkling, rhythmic playing style combined with Musica Vitae's rich, deep sound will create a musical cross-pollination, taking us on a whirlwind adventure around the globe – with the orchestra along for the ride.

This evening, you'll hear brand-new Nordic songs, unique to this tour, arranged for Musica Vitae by Mårten Sundén, along with music from their joint, acclaimed album "Nordic Symphonic," with arrangements by Karl-Johan Ankarblom. As a bonus, there will be a special interpretation of Vivaldi's "Summer" on the nyckelharpa.

19.30 // VICTORIATEATERN

Chicos Fritos is the flamenco group that delves deep in its pursuit of the innermost core of flamenco – with a daring twist! The sacred flamenco song is translated directly to harmonica, but all four pillars of flamenco are present – dance, guitar, handclaps, and singing. With captivating transitions between the subtle, sensitive, and grandly dramatic, Chicos Fritos play "old school" flamenco according to all the rules of the art. Their own melodic compositions are intertwined with the traditional musical treasure of flamenco. Together with flamenco dancer Javier Aguilar from Seville's tablaos and flamenco dancer Ann Sehlstedt, Chicos Fritos have created a performance featuring pieces from the many styles of flamenco.

MALMÖ LIVE KONSERTHUS, CONCERT HALL’S FOYERS

"1 km of Music" is a concert, a performance, and site-specific art – all in one! Throughout the Folk Festival week, a 1-kilometer-long sheet of music, composed by Malmö musician Brita Björs, will stretch across the foyers of Malmö Live Konserthus. It will wind up and down stairs, hang from ceilings, walls, and railings. For two days, you can experience the artwork and the music.

Come and watch. Come and listen. Come and play.

"1 km of Music" consists of long fabric strips with musical notes, mounted in places like a forest, a city, or a giant room – a ribbon that is 1 km long. The appearance of the notes is quite varied: some more classical, others more unusual, with a bit of graphic notation and images. "1 km of Music" is a playful musical and visual work, a music installation performance.

Idea, Composition, Production – Brita Björs
Illustrator – Ida Björs
Production Assistant – John Dunsö
Composition Coach – Jesper Nielsen
Photography, Film – Max Tellving
 

Don't miss "1 km of Music" – After work at 3 PM on Friday.

And don't miss "1 km of Music" – Performance at 5 PM on Saturday.
