European Early Music Day 2021
March 21st 2021 throughout Europe marks the celebration of the ninth edition of the Early Music Day, launched through an initiative by SEMF's Artistic Director Peter Pontvik and coordinated by REMA. The event enjoys the patronage of the European Commission and is a cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
On March 21st, the beginning of spring and Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday, concerts, conferences and other events related to early music are held around Europe with the purpose of increasing the awareness about the diversity of a shared historical musical heritage. Most of these events are available worldwide via online live-streaming.
In Stockholm, SEMF offers Baroque Tales, a fresh live streamed concert with the young, talented Swedish Lynx Ensemble that performs music in the borderland between baroque and Swedish folk music. More information about the Early Music Day can be found at earlymusicday.eu

 Lynx Ensemble consists of five young, talented Swedish/international musicians. The ensemble took shape through its innovative project "Hälsingebarocken" which offers folk tunes from Hälsingland (Swedish region), with brilliant arrangements from a baroque perspective. In "Baroque Tales", baroque meets the Hälsingland folk music, but instead of a clash of styles between two heavy musical traditions, a timeless and loving embrace takes place.
