The Pellbäcks

The Pellbäck siblings are a phenomenon. In 2022, in the presence of Queen Silvia of Sweden, they inaugurated the "Queen Silvia Concert Hall" in Stockholm, and Hansine, then just fifteen, performed in honour of Anne-Sophie Mutter at the "Polar Music Prize Gala". All three musically emerged from the special programmes of Stockholm's Lilla Akademien. Lucas now continues his studies at the Mozarteum Salzburg, while Hermann is Artist in Residence at the Ingesund College of Music.

Their concert on Usedom is a declaration of love for the music of their Swedish homeland — for the Baroque splendour of the "Swedish Handel" Johan Helmich Roman, for the vibrant open-air romanticism of Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, and for a country so progressive that as early as the nineteenth century women could step forward as composers — even though Laura Netzel wisely published her first works under the pseudonym "N. Lago" before, a decade later, daring to do so under her own name. An evening rich in joyful surprises!
