Swedish tunes with Bj\u00e4rv
\nMonday, June 24, 7pm
\nSeman Violins (4447 Oakton, Skokie)<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a couple of tunes to give you an idea of the fine music to come on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

Olof G\u00f6thlin here plays a duet with an unidentified clarinetist. The title translates as ‘Calle’s final composition.’ The Calle in question may be Calle Lindstr\u00f6m, an early Swedish comic singer who is perhaps best remembered for his 1908 recording of Chikago<\/em>. Yes, it is a song about our fair city, and the adventures of Lasse, an immigrant from Ossebo, Sweden. (Calle Lindstr\u00f6m, by the way, never set foot in Chicago, or even the USA.)<\/p>\n

And here’s a piece from the band. The song is a fun one taught at the Old Town School by Mary Allsopp a couple of years ago at a World Music Wednesday workshop. Mary is the leader of the Chicago Spelmanslag, a group of Swedish players. Another tune or two are woven into the setting.<\/p>\n

Bj\u00e4rv will give us a bit of a concert and teach us a tune or two.
