Flen has its own World Orchestra(VärldsOrkester)!
29 Sept-2015
Our fine Sörmland is, thankfully, populated by people who come from all over the world.
Our new residents come to us with a bag full of experience. Some of them sings or are musicians or dancers or theater people.
Many, without being a cultural worker, wants to learn to stand on a stage and play, dance or to be actors, eg in a musical...

Almost everyone needs a gateway for getting to know our country and our way of being. At the same time we Swedes will have a chance to learn from the culture that our "new" Swedes share.
To share each other's experiences and culture makes us all grow and mature as people.
A world orchestra gives us the opportunity to meet and we will understand each other without, necessarily, speak the same language.
I have played around the world and I can have a dialogue with a griot from Mali. I know which scales he uses when he sings.
One of the Arab world's main instruments is the oud. A fretless lute with nylon strings.
I play fretless nylon guitar and I know how their complicated scales works. In Syria (before this horrible war), I played with oud musicians, and without speaking the same language, the musical common language turns into a bridge that united us.
In India tabla and sitar are two of the most important instruments. With the group Worldream I have had the pleasure to play with one of Europe's best tabla players.
I also love Swedish folkmusic, and FlenVärldsOrkester is obviously also a place welcomes Swedes and Swedish melodies.
What I mean by all this is that music is an important gateway and that I, that"speaks" many musical languages, can be the bridge that unites people.
Now Flen VärldsOrkester has become a reality thanks to Flen Kommun(Municipal Gouverment) that believes and has invested money in my project.
During 12 months I'll be working on the project in collaboration with Opera Initiativet and with support from the Arts School, ABF and Study Promotion.
FlenVärldsOrkester welcomes all (professionals and amateurs) who wish to play, sing or dance and we rehearse at Amazon in parkgatan 3 Flen.
I have open house on Mondays and Tuesdays at 15-17 for those who want to know more or want to audition or sing.
The orchestra repeats Tuesdays 18-20:30.
WELCOME!
