Nordic Sangeet at SSF2024
Stockholm Sangeet is proud to present the initiative Nordic Sangeet during 2024 and 2025 which is facilitating new collaborations between musicians of South Asian classical music that has never met before, and yet are all based in the Nordic countries. The first concert of this project will be presented at the SSF2024 main stage and feature the Norwegian queen of sitar Rohini Sahajpal, and from Sweden, the maestro of the rabab Wali Heidar and tabla virtouso Suranjana Ghosh. The project will continue in 2025 with different musicians from the Nordic countries performing in Denmark, Finland and Norway. We look forward to exciting music born out of new connections and crossing borders!

Stockholm Sangeet Sabha
In our efforts to create a platform for raga based music in Stockholm we are now introducing a concert series in addition to the yearly festival. The idea is to have a natural gathering place where we can enjoy a concert by featured artists followed by an open stage where anyone performing something related to raga is welcome to enter the stage. These gatherings will take place at Restaurant Ellora and the entrance is free.

During the history of the festival we have had so many great concerts by international masters, and this is a chance to relive some of the magic. The concerts will be posted to our Youtube channel 24th to 31st at 6 pm CET each day.
Thank you all for a great festival!
We would like to thank all our artists, partners, collaborators, volunteers, and most importantly, you in the audience for the amazing 15 year jubilee of Stockholm Sangeet Festival we had now in 2021!
