The Björn Chronicle

The entire Middle Ages explained in a 90-minute song. The name “Björnkrönikan” alludes to the medieval work Erikskrönikan, a rhyming work that explains Sweden’s early Middle Ages. Björnkrönikan is a rhyming text set to music that thoroughly explains the entire Middle Ages of Western Europe, with a special focus on the Nordic countries and what later became Sweden. In Björnkrönikan, you will experience musical virtuosity combined with masterful storytelling. He is joined by a string of some of Sweden’s most accomplished musicians, including Kristin Fornfela Svensson, whose storytelling songs, strong personality and dazzling musicianship have made her an integral part of Björnkrönikan.
