Norrbotten Big Band presents a double production where two young and acclaimed jazz profiles take center stage. In one set, we hear newly written music by composer and saxophonist Karolina Almgren, upcoming residency fellow at Studio Acusticum. In the next set, Edvin Ekman takes over with completely newly written music for the concert, after his victory in the Jazz Wind Music Award earlier this year.
Both musicians have previously collaborated with Norrbotten Big Band, and are now looking forward to developing their ideas together with the band. Norrbotten Big Band's artistic director Joakim Milder is also enthusiastic:
- This will be great fun. It is part of our mission to seek out and initiate collaborations with those who have a future ahead of them. Both of these fantastic musicians have that. It will be an evening of colorful, imaginative and generously open contemporary jazz, says Joakim Milder.

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.

Arve Henriksen, trumpet and effects

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.comSaturday 2 May

Lägg i kalender2026-05-02 19:002026-05-02Europe/StockholmEugene Onegin - Live from METTchaikovsky's romantic opera comes to life in Deborah Warner's beautiful production. 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.

The pop duo Sand & Hallander consists of Emmalisa Hallander and Nina Sand who sing and play self-written Swedish songs with clever lyrics and moving melodies. The debut album Älskar, älskar inte from 2023 was praised by critics and reviewers, and they were compared to ABBA, among others. Now new songs, gems from the first album and exciting newly written material await to be performed with the powerful sound of the big band. Tilde Schweizer, one of Sweden's most prominent young arrangers, is taking care of the arrangements and promises to give the duo's songs a whole new dimension. Tilde is the trombonist who, through her own big band, has managed to create a new interest in both jazz and the big band as a format. She has previously played with the Norrbotten Big Band and this time will be given a more prominent position as arranger for the band.
Artistic director Joakim Milder describes the meeting as elegantly song-making, unpredictable and soulful – an evening filled with music that touches.

Lägg i kalender2026-05-30 19:002026-05-30Europe/StockholmFrida och Diegos sista dröm - Live from METAcclaimed American composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist tale of the iconic artist couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The production draws inspiration from their paintings and features a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. It will be shown live in theaters at Studio Acusticum on May 30, 2026.
The story is designed as a reversal of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and depicts Frida, sung by the distinguished mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, as she leaves the underworld on the Day of the Dead to be reunited with Diego, played by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding couple briefly relive their stormy love, embracing both passion and pain before bidding a final farewell to the world of the living.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank's opera, a confident, richly imaginative composition (The New Yorker), bursting with color and fresh originality (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker, following her acclaimed debut production of Ainadamar in 2024.

Award-winning with Norway's equivalent of a Grammis and known for pushing musical boundaries, Marja brings her South Sami heritage and yoik tradition with her – and now gets to meet the powerful sound of the big band. That she is now collaborating with the Norrbotten Big Band is no surprise, the band has long wanted to push its own traditions.
Born in Engerdal, South Sami, Marja has always been passionate about preserving her heritage and language. She has dug into archives, interviewed yoikers and collaborated with, among others, Mari Boine and Sofia Jannok. Ole Jörn Myklebust, who has previously had success with big band and yoik, is in charge of the arrangements. It will be an exciting meeting between tradition and the present, where Marja's voice and the big band's sound create something completely unique.
