2019
The Melbourne Octet visited Sweden in July 2019, in collaboration with Swedish Mezzo-soprano, Maria Forsström, performing in several of Sweden’s finest churches. We were joined on the tour by organist, Calvin Bowman and soprano Elizabeth Dobbin.
“The Octet received an unusually long applause - it was noted that every one of the voices was professional” — Kalmar. (Kalmar Cathedral)
“This was an excellent concert - what a pleasure” — Malmö. (St Pauli Church)
“To Daffadills was a gem, which we enjoyed again in the encore. It was not the Swedish style of choral sound, but the ambitious programme had much to savour” — Göteborg. (Göteborg Cathedral)
“A fantastic treat, presented with style. Truly enjoyable” — Vadstena. (Vadstena Kloster)
“It was clear that the audience could have stayed on for another few encores. A most enjoyable evening” — Stockholm. (Katarina Church)
