Michael Axelsson Tenor

A program with songs by Gustaf Nordqvist - the composer who wrote the famous "Till havs". This song was inspired by the lake Garnsviken - just nearby the church - when Nordqvist was here in a rowing boat. He thought of the words by the Finnish-Swedish poet Jonatan Reuter, rowed ashore, and went to his relatives house and started playing the piano and composing the song directly. A unike opportunity to hear his songs and the stories of his life and work, and see the lake that inspired him to this famous song!
