Pat Metheny’s Dream Box

The trailblazing guitarist returns to Konserthuset. Pat Metheny has had a remarkably long career by now, yet his curiosity has never waned. Few, if any, can match his versatility. A true musical explorer, he has engaged in numerous collaborations over the years – often beyond the realm of jazz. Metheny has performed with the likes of Ornette Coleman and Herbie Hancock but has also worked with Steve Reich and David Bowie, to name just a few.

At Konserthuset Stockholm, he presents his latest album, Dream Box (2023) – a collection of solo pieces recorded over several years while on tour, based on musical ideas he stumbled upon on a long-forgotten hard drive.

Metheny has a habit of quickly recording ideas as they emerge. “As I listened through these sessions, I gradually began to sift through the material and realised that a coherent whole was taking shape. I discovered that, without meaning to, I had arrived at a destination I hadn’t planned – and I’m looking forward to sharing what was hidden there.”

Pat Metheny made his debut at Konserthuset Stockholm in 1989 and last visited us in 2022.
