A programme with music written or dedicated to Queen Christina and music around her.
Music for a Queen is a programme with music written or dedicated to Queen Christina and music around her. Some of the finest music for the baroque guitar was written by MichelAngelo Bartolotti and his music in this programme is dedicated to Queen Christina. There is also music Corelli, Gaspar Sanz and from swedish manuscripts and folktunes from Sweden at her time. 

In works spanning from a 12th century sequence found in a Danish/Swedish manuscript to completely new compositions by a Norwegian songwriter this programme encompasses more than 800 years of Scandinavian musicmaking. Medieval, baroque, traditional and contemporary music intermingles in a rich and colourful mosaic of pieces arranged with great ingenuity and respect by Holmertz, Bock and Høxbro. Join them in a Scandinavian musical oddyssey for flute, strings and soprano voice.
