For the first time since its publication in 1783, Sweden’s national poet Carl Michael Bellman’s only stage work, the musical play Bacchi Tempel, is performed! Through source-critical research, directed by Patrik Sörling and with adapted instrumentation by Jonas Dominique, EARLY MUSIC SWEDEN revives a unique work in the history of Swedish performing arts.

In Bacchi Tempel we encounter Bellman’s well-known characters - Ulla Winblad, Fredman, Mollberg and Movitz - in an imaginative story filled with festivities, rituals and burlesque humour. The production is a special Early Stage project within the Stockholm Early Music Festival and offers audiences a rare opportunity to discover Bellman as a creator of music theatre. The accomplished soloists Staffan Liljas and Martin Vanberg perform the leading roles, and the instrumental ensemble is led by Elin Gabrielsson.

🎶Last Saturday, on Early Music Day, The acclaimed vocal German ensemble CALMUS performed at the German Church, bringing their distinctive singing culture - warm, precise, and deeply attuned to the text - rooted in Leipzig’s rich choral tradition. They were accompanied by the rarely heard lira da braccio, performed by the distinguished Jeanette Eriksson, which built bridges between Swedish folk music and a vocal Baroque repertoire.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, but if you weren't able to make it, don't worry! Tickets and festival passes for the 25th anniversary edition of the Stockholm Early Music Festival, the largest international event in the Nordic countries for baroque, renaissance and medieval music, are available now on our website!

🎄Yesterday the XIII SEMF Christmas Edition 2025 kicked off with the warm, elegant, and playful Swedish recorder quintet Nordic Consort who together with virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf explored the Christmas music of the English Renaissance.

Then the rich ensemble Musica Gloria and soprano Périnne Devillers offered sparkling energy and heartfelt brilliance to the German Church.

Lastly, as the icing on the cake, we laid down for a magical night concert on mattresses, where organist Kevin Lembke let the Christmas night breathe through the church’s pipes.

We hope everyone who joined us felt the magic of Christmas and the comfort of music, and if you didn't make it this year don't worry! There are many more events to come in 2026 - stay tuned! 🎄🎶
