Singing Together and Experiencing Nature in Southern Sweden
Swedish folk and church songs are truly special: they reflect joy, a connection to nature, and even a touch of Nordic melancholy. Through a Swedish project choir and a concert tour to southern Sweden, we want to immerse ourselves in the Swedish choral tradition.
We’ll prepare for the trip with choir rehearsals in the Stuttgart region during the first half of 2027. We plan to meet several times at my home in Erkenbrechtsweiler near Nürtingen to sing, get to know one another, and rehearse Swedish songs together—both with accompaniment and a cappella.
To cap off our work together, we’ll give 1–2 concerts here in the Stuttgart region.
The highlight will be a concert tour to Smaland from June 6 to 17, 2027. We’ll stay together in an old church school, sing, go on excursions, hike, go boating, simply enjoy Sweden, and give concerts in a small village church.
As a second lodging option, in addition to the old church school, we’ll use my beautiful guesthouse in Stenberga. This guesthouse is about 1 km from the church school and can accommodate six people.
Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining a Swedish project choir. You should be confident in your vocal range and have experience in choral singing.
The most important facts in a nutshell:
Preparatory Courses in Choral Singing (Swedish) in the Stuttgart Region
Organization of the concert tour to Sweden (travel to Sweden on your own)
Accommodations in Southern Sweden, communal cooking
Several concerts in Sweden
