One of the finest poets of the Swedish language, Finnish-Swedish Edith Södergran passed away 100 years ago in 1923. We are marking this by inviting Copenhagen-based Anna Kruse and performing some of her musical settings of Edith Södergran's texts, here in different arrangements for herself and the Palaestra vocal ensemble.
Anna Kruse is a Swedish jazz singer who took a great interest in setting Edith Södergran's poems to music. Anna has played concerts in various constellations, i.a. in the combo Anna Kruse and Edith Band but also with the Finnish-Swedish actress Stina Ekblad.
Palaestra vocal ensemble is a project-based chamber choir at the music center Odeum, Lund University, led by Cecilia Martin-Löf. The concert is part of the Lund Choral Festival (October 16-22).
