In the Jazz Ring with Magnus and Chiara

Magnus Lindgren presents 3 x European jazz. First up: a meeting with Italian singer Chiara Civello.

Across three concerts in the Grünewald Hall this autumn, Magnus Lindgren has invited musical friends – one international guest per occasion. This intimate venue features a rarely used stage platform that rises from the centre of the floor, creating a space for musical encounters with the audience seated all around. A jazz ring, of sorts.

First up is Italian artist Chiara Civello – vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist. On this occasion, she sings and plays guitar. Her style is characterised by openness, and it’s neither traditional jazz nor something that could quite be called pop – let’s simply call it Chiara Civello. She has released a handful of albums.

Magnus Lindgren’s artistry, too, is marked by openness and curiosity. Over the years, the jazz musician Lindgren has explored everything from Brazilian samba to Swedish folk music. For 20 years, he also co-led Konserthuset’s own big band, the Blue House Jazz Orchestra, together with trumpeter Peter Asplund. He has released seven albums and in recent years collaborated with artists such as John Beasley and Germany’s SWR Big Band.

Joining this first concert in the jazz ring are two prominent Swedish musicians: Carl Bagge on piano and accordion, and Martin Höper on double bass.

Please note: balcony seats may offer restricted view due to the position of the stage.
