Double bass, electric bass and effects make up her palette. Known for moving seamlessly between genres, she weaves elements from modern jazz, rock and experimental music into her compositional process.
After the international success of her debut album Karthago in 2022, Ilaria comes to Piteå with newly written music for her quintet. The Brightest Sun is inspired by the transformative experience of motherhood. The music moves between powerful and intimate moments, it is both raw and unpredictable, but also tender. A storyteller in soul and heart, Ilaria creates music that is rich, immediate, deeply personal but at the same time close and lasting for the listener. The band was selected to perform during the European Showcases at jazzahead! 2025.
The band consists of:
Ilaria Capalbo, bass
Thomas Backman, alto sax, bass clarinet
Fredrik Nordström, tenor sax and baritone sax

Lägg i kalender2026-02-25 19:002026-02-25Europe/StockholmKAIPUKaipu – a musical journey through Kvan culture and history
A longing for cultural expressions that once existed, but never had the opportunity to live on, characterizes the experiences of many Kvans. For the Kvans – an ethnic and cultural minority in Norway – this is a reality that takes shape in the project Kaipu, presented by Norrbotten World in collaboration with Arctic Pulse and the North Norwegian Jazz Center.
Kaipu means longing and missing in Kvan, a language similar to Meänkieli. The Kvans have their own culture and history, but have been subjected to Norwegianization policies over the years. The music and art project Kaipu was created by northern Norwegian artists and musicians with the goal of highlighting and reinterpreting the Kvan cultural heritage. Some of the experiences that Kvans have had and are still experiencing are reflected on stage, a history that is largely reminiscent of our own Swedish indigenous population.
In 2026, Kaipu will be presented in collaboration with Norrbotten World and Arctic Pulse. The music is based on adapted Kvan songs, hymns, lyrics, rhymes and chants, mixed with jazz and modern expressions such as electronics and improvisation. A strong and touching tribute to Kvan culture is expected here, a unique performance that allows the music to carry the stories of an entire people.
Participating:
Arve Henriksen, trumpet and effects
Louisa Palmi Danielsson, electronics
Frida Lydia Hansen, vocals
Svein Schultz, bass
Mariann Torset, pedal organ

Lägg i kalender2026-04-18 19:002026-04-18Europe/StockholmMetal Pipes – when organ meets hard rockIn Metal Pipes, the power of the classical organ explodes with the raw energy of rock, creating a concert experience like no other. At Studio Acusticum, an evening full of surprises awaits as folk music, hard rock and classical sounds merge into something completely new – and completely electric.
This is how organist Gunnar Idenstam describes Metal Pipes:
This concert is for those who are curious about something new. It could be someone who likes classical music or someone who likes rock, but I think people who would neither go to rock nor classical will find this incredibly cool. Being in the energy of rock music with my organ playing, together with bass, drums and Joacim's fantastic singing will be something really special that I'm really looking forward to, says Gunnar Idenstam.
When I was asked, it felt so fantastically unexpected and crazy that it was impossible to say no. Adding a grand organ to already grand hard rock songs will create a whole new dimension in the soundscape. When hard rock meets the organ, a majestic roar arises where the sacred and the wild merge, says Joacim Cans.
Metal Pipes has its world premiere at Studio Acusticum. Whether you're a rock fan or appreciate classic folk music, this is a concert experience you don't want to miss!Studio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.comWednesday 22 April

What breathes more 80s than the magazine Okej, the radio program Tracks and dreams of something bigger? The music and comedy show Pop Dreams is a flirtation with 80s music, aesthetics, glitter and ideals – a real nostalgic evening for those of you who like to look back on the sweet 80s with warmth and reflection.
The show revolves around radio personality Anna Charlotta Gunnarson and journalist Christel Valsinger's own visions from the 80s. Pop Dreams offers anecdotes from the duo's private lives and careers and of course a cavalcade of hit songs and pictures. Many stories evoke laughter and recognition, while several create reflection and new questions about a pop world populated by guys with guitars and undressed girls. For example, where were the brides' instruments on the posters? And did they forget their clothes at home?
In Popdrömmar, Anna Charlotta and Christel meet as hosts and callers in a fictional radio program. The show has been touring the country throughout 2025, and now the duo is expanding their repertoire through their collaboration with MTA ProductiStudio Acusticum, Black BoxContactinfo@studioacusticum.comWednesday 29 April

Asmik Grigorian returns as Tatyana, the young heroine who falls in love with Onegin. Screened live in cinemas at Studio Acusticum on May 2, 2026.
Tchaikovsky's many moods – tender, grand, melancholic – are given free rein in Eugene Onegin. The opera is based on Pushkin's iconic verse novel. Similarly, Tchaikovsky took Western European operatic traditions and transformed them into an authentically and indisputably Russian work. At the center of the opera is the young Tatyana, who develops from a sentimental teenager to a consummate woman in one of the most compelling character developments in opera history. Eugene Onegin had its world premiere at the Maly Theatre in Moscow in 1879, with students from the Moscow Conservatory. In 1881, it had its professional premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
