Description

Swedish musicians Oskar Stenmark and Bruno Råberg join us for an afternoon concert. Oskar Stenmark and Bruno Råberg found each other back in 2017, both working on the East Coast and crossing paths in the jazz world. This concert invites you to listen to an intimate conversation where Bruno’s bass pairs with Oskar’s horn. The duo uses the small orchestration to create a large canvas where improvisation has an important role, the program consists of compositions by some of Sweden’s greatest jazz artists (Jan Johansson, Lars Gullin and Georg Riedel to name a few). The performance will also include some of Bruno’s compositions as well as the music Oskar represents from Rättvik, Dalecarlia. Saturday, February 5th | 1pm; $15; $7 for members  *advanced registration, proof of vaccination and masks required* BRUNO RÅBERG is an internationally renowned bass player and composer. Since coming to the US from his native Sweden in 1981, he has made 12 recordings as a leader, about 30 as a sideman, and has performed with numerous world-class artists.

Oskar, tenth generation musician, has a Master's degree in Jazz Arts from the Manhattan School of Music and continues to develop his playing and artistic vision while being based in New York and Sweden.
