”This year’s summer concerts will be a thrilling jazz extravaganza with seven beautiful events. The goal for me was to find artists who compliment the understated atmosphere at Artipelag. The challenge was to accommodate a crowd that will span ages from zero to a hundred years – and I think we have managed to do that.”
– Johanna Sannefors, program manager for Summer Jazz at Artipelag

Viktoria Tolstoy is one of the leading acts in Sweden’s jazz scene and, as a 20-year-old, won the Jazzkatten prize of ”Newcomer of the Year”. She has a masterful ability to move between different genres and succeeds in truly making every song her own.

July 3: Kristin Amparo.

Kristin Amparo is a vocalist and songwriter. She had her breakthrough in Sweden with the hit ”Your soldier” along with the artist Albin. Amparo has her roots in jazz and in the Royal College of Music in Stockholm as well as the urban music.

July 11: Svante Thuresson.

Svante Thuresson began jazz singing in the early 1960s, but he still has both the energy and the presence needed to conduct a truly first-class concert. Through the years he has continued to hone his natural skills and is constantly updating his repertoire.

July 14: Ida Sand.

With her expressive voice and her amazing piano playing, Ida Sand touches her audiences with her soulful styles of jazz, blues, funk and gospel. Her inspiration comes from world artists such as Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
