Gotlandsmusiken – A Tribute to Malmkvist and Skifs

For this production, we have asked the young Gotland talents Stina Nordberg and Hjalmar Ljungberg to perform hits by Siw Malmkvist and Björn Skifs in their own interpretations. In a programme full of energy and powerful emotions, we pay tribute to two of Sweden’s best-loved artists and their significance for Swedish pop and schlager over more than six decades. Their long careers are impressive, to say the least. Last year, actor Stina Nordberg was a hit alongside Lennart Bäck and GotlandJazztrio in the Länsteatern production “Hjördis Pettersson – A Star’s Life”. She grew up on Gotland, trained in Malmö and has been engaged by performing arts venues throughout the country. Hjalmar Ljungberg moved to Gotland in 2023 and has quickly established himself as a versatile musician, singer and arranger. Alongside his employment as a trombonist with Gotlandsmusiken, he is very active in other parts of the music scene. Gotlandsmusiken’s Orchestra consists of all fourteen of our musicians. The music has been specially arranged for this production by bassist Josef Karnebäck. Ticket sales start on 8 August.
