Language: the international language of music
Join us on Thursday, May 21 at 7 pm for a live performance by acclaimed musicians Eva Lindal (violin), Mikael Augustsson (bandoneon), and Jon Fält (drums/percussion). Together, these three singular artists create a rich and immersive sonic landscape that moves between improvisation, contemporary music, tango, jazz, and experimental sound worlds.
The concert takes place in dialogue with the exhibition "Errare humanum est. Painting at the Time of Artificial Intelligence", curated by Mika Takehara and featuring works by five Estonian artists. Through this encounter between sound and image, the evening invites audiences into a space of reflection, intuition, and artistic exploration at the intersection of humanity, technology, and creativity.
EVA LINDAL (violin)
Eva Lindal comes from Stockholm, where she studied violin at the Royal College of Music, followed by studies in Switzerland, Banff (Canada), and later improvisation studies in New York. Her focus is on improvisation, contemporary art music, Baroque music, and initiating and leading experimental projects with musicians and artists in Sweden, Europe, and the United States. In spring 2024, Eva and pianist Virg Dzurinko from New York released their second album on their own label, Hotel at the End of the World, featuring music by the Armenian composer Sofia Ganeshian. Current projects for 2026 include a tour of Japan with the project Distant Harmonies, the release of Lament over Nightingales and Small Creatures, a duo album with harpist Stina Hellberg Agback, as well as concerts with The Biber Project, performing the Mystery Sonatas by the 17th-century composer Biber together with Lukas Arvidsson on historical organs and harpsichord.

MIKAEL AUGUSTSSON (bandoneon)
Seeking new musical territories is important to Mikael Augustsson. With his bandoneon and accordion, he explores the intrinsic power of music, creating a field of tension where the instruments’ timbre and nature constantly open up new dimensions. The foundation lies in Argentine tango, which became a part of him during the time he spent in Buenos Aires. Yet the music he creates is uniquely his own, shaped by influences from many directions through both his travels and the various musical constellations he has been part of. The combination of composer and musician is one of Mikael Augustsson’s great strengths. Drawing on the intense and sensual character of the bandoneon and the passionate heat of tango, together with impulses from composers such as Stravinsky, Bartók, Debussy, and Morricone, he creates music that is deeply personal and distinctive. The bandoneon is known as an extremely difficult instrument to play. “Diabolical — you have to be a little crazy to take it on,” said Astor Piazzolla, while also celebrating its melancholy sound. Mikael Augustsson has mastered it completely, as he has the accordion. He studied at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm and at the Conservatorio Nacional Superior de Música Carlos Buches in Buenos Aires. With his instruments and his musical imagination, he continues his search for exciting new musical territories to explore.

JON FÄLT (drums / percussion)
Jon Fält is one of Sweden’s most distinctive and acclaimed drummers, a musician who has redefined the role of the drum set in modern jazz. With roots in Sandviken and a base in Gävle, he has established himself as an indispensable force on both the Swedish and international music scenes. What sets Jon Fält apart is his unique ability to combine technical brilliance with an almost childlike sense of curiosity and discovery. He does not view the drums merely as a rhythmic instrument, but as a source of endless tonal colors. His playing style is often described as balancing explosive power with fragile minimalism — always with an unfailing sense of timing and musical drama. As one-third of the world-renowned Bobo Stenson Trio, he has toured across the globe and appeared on several acclaimed albums released by ECM Records. He is also a driving force behind his own projects, such as "Lekverk", and over the years he has received prestigious awards including the Jazzkannan award and Swedish Radio’s Jazzkatten award for Musician of the Year.
