Sven-David Sandström

Freedom Mass

Sven-David Santström’s Freedom Mass was given its premiere performance in Leksand during the festival Music by Lake Siljan in 1996. The initiator of the commission was singer Margareta Jonth, who also compiled the texts with passages from Tomas Tranströmer´s poetry.

2003 the choir Allmänna Sången from Uppsala celebrated their 175th anniversary and they presented, together with the Linné Quintet, a CD with the Mass and other works by Sandström.

Also participating, besides Allmänna Sången and the Linné Quintet, are soprano Jeanette Bjurling, clarinettist Jonas Viklund, and Katharina Hieke and Johan Hammerström, organ. All under the leadership of Cecilia Rydinger Alin.
