Göteborgs Konserthus Två och en Steinway – Jan Lundgren med gäster Lill Lindfors och Nils Landgren

Event has already taken place

The concert performance “Två och en Steinway” is based on the classical music program Två och en flygel, which was broadcast on SVT from the mid-70s to the end of the 90s, which was based on conversations and music between the pianist Bernt Egerbladh and some of our most popular artists and cultural figures.

“It feels very nice to have the opportunity to take “Två och en Steinway” on tour after the success at the Maximteatern in the fall of 2022. Lill and Nils are some of my absolute favorites, so I’m really looking forward to our conversations and making music together during this the tour,” says Jan Lundgren.
