Folk trio performs in King Gustav III's Theatre
Listen to whispering flutes, the buzzing hurdy-gurdy, mournful viola tones and swinging bass lines when Larger than Life perform on the stage of King Gustav III's Theatre.
The band was assembled for the unveiling of the 2024 Portrait of Honour, depicting Max Martin. On that occasion, folk music was combined with Max Martin's pop songs.
The new iteration of the band will now visit Gripsholm once again, this time with a focus on folk music – mostly from Sweden, but also from elsewhere.
