Les Arts Florissants: Stockholm Early Music Festival

About the Event

Europe’s most celebrated early music ensemble returns to Sweden after several decades! Follow Les Arts Florissants into the dramatic musical world of Claudio Monteverdi. An ”account of Monteverdi madrigals as stirring as it is delightful” – a performance ”immaculately assured, yet … so spontaneous” (The Telegraph, The Guardian). Enjoy this performance of Monteverdi's Fifth Book of Madrigals at the German Church in the old town of Stockholm.

The Stockholm Early Music Festival is the largest international event for historical music in the Nordic countries, and alone in Sweden in presenting repertoire from baroque, renaissance, and medieval times in one festival. With variation and quality as its motto, the festival highlights the diversity of early music, offering a programme of known and unknown music from all over the world, featuring well‐renowned Swedish and international artists. The festival has been held annually in the historical setting of Stockholm’s Old Town since 2002, in the special summer atmosphere of early June.
