Explore Hugo Alfvén’s musical treasures in his home and during our garden tour. Alfvén’s compositions have a remarkable breadth: from arrangements for very large orchestras to solo songs found on the repertoire of nearly all Swedish singers. And even his work with composing choir songs - of which the undoubtedly most performed are his folk song arrangements. Which composition will become your favorite?
In Hugo and Carin Alfvén’s garden, concerts are held the whole summer and music resounds of the shore of the river Österdalälven. Bring along a chair or a blanket and sit down in the grass. In Carin’s café you can even buy something good to eat or drink.
