The Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards goes Broadway

American musical classics and gems by Povel Ramel

Welcome to a concert by the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards, presenting the best of classics from the heyday of Broadway and a spectacular array of gems from Povel Ramel’s vaudevillian trove. The soloist is musician and actor Sara Jangfeldt, who has been celebrated for her numerous roles in movies, and who has also had great success at Stockholm City Theatre, including in Aniara, Onkel Vanja (Uncle Vanya), Hair, Sommarnattens Leende (Smiles of a Summer Night), Top Girls and most recently, an acclaimed portrayal of opera singer Jenny Lind.

Povel Ramel would have turned 100 years old this year, which the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards is celebrating with pride and joy. Naturally, the audience will also be treated to rhythmic marches!

This annually recurring concert is arranged in partnership between the Föreningen för den Beridna Högvakten (Association of the Mounted High Guard) and the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards, which is one of the Swedish Armed Forces’ three professional orchestras, consisting of 27 brass players and three percussionists.
