Chief of Navy’s Concert – A Tribute to Music of New York

Welcome to the Chief of Navy’s Concert with the Royal Swedish Navy Band, presenting music that takes us to New York, a fascinating, energetic and diverse city of endless possibilities. The music of this concert captures the essence of New York City – from intimate jazz clubs and glittering Broadway musicals, all the way to Liberty Island’s Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and democracy. Countless composers have worked and been inspired in the bustling metropolis of New York, including George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber and John Corigliano, all of whom have captured in one way or another the soul of the city in their work.

The concert’s soloist is jazz singer Rigmor Gustafsson, who took the step from the forests of Värmland to the pavement of New York, settling afterwards in Stockholm to perform on Europe’s stages.

Join us on a musical journey to the Big Apple – the city that never sleeps!
