Jörgen Sundeqvist (Sweden) and Håkan Dahlén (one of Swedens finest organists), are preparing an extensive concert tour in Scandinavia and the Czech Republic beginning mid August. Håkan and Jörgen, pictured above, have enjoyed a long collaboration and even released a CD reviewed at: Bellows & Pipes

Jörgen Sundeqvist writes: “During my many visits to Prague, Czech Republic over the years, I have learned a lot about the Czech music tradition and the history and the development of the accordion in the Czech Republic.

For our upcoming concert tour, well known Czech composer Eduard Dousa (picture left with Jörgen) has written a new composition for accordion and church organ which Håkan Dahlén and I will premiere when we start our tour. The concert program will also consist of music by Frantisek Broz, Josef Klicka and Vaclav Trojan.

A highlight will be Vaclav Trojan’s “Fairy Tales” for accordion and orchestra, transcribed for accordion and organ by Håkan Dahlén and myself. Vaclav Trojan had a special and unique collaboration with the well known Czech accordionist Milan Blaha, which resulted in many great works for the accordion, for solo, chamber and orchestral formats. Håkan and I will also perform some other very exciting compositions by Vaclav Trojan.

During my time in Prague, I have got to know the son, Vaclav Trojan jr and his family very well. They will be special guests at our concert in Ytterlännäs Church, Kramfors, Sweden on Sunday August 14th.”

The tour dates are being finalized and will be published soon. To host a concert or for further information, email: sundeqvist@yahoo.se
