Norrbotten Big Band meets Sand and Hallander

Stripped down, close to the skin and full of emotion – that’s what the audience can expect when the pop duo Sand & Hallander takes their place with the Norrbotten Big Band under the direction of trombonist and arranger Tilde Schweizer.

 

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.
