Outdoor wedding

The rainy skies took a break just as the happy couple on this wedding were about to walk down the isle (pier). Dolce played during the ceremony and before dinner.
 The venue was located on the other side of the river, beneath the big bridge in Gothenburg city center

Concert in Höreda church

Yesterday Dolce Trio played a concert in Höreda Church. 
The program included works by Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Elgar, Shostakovich, Peterson-Berger and Rachmaninov.
Höreda is a part of Eksjö municipality and it was a 2.5 hour drive from Gothenburg. Exciting to play a concert in a new county. We were nicely greeted by the priest and congregation.

The Tram Wedding

Three weeks ago Karin and Johan contacted us and wondered if we could play at their wedding. It turned out to be an exciting experience where the ceremony would be on a tram from the 60's. 
We were unsure at first if we all would fit on the tram (Henrik's piano) and whether it would work to play even though the tram was in motion.
In order to take gigs where there is no electricity, Henrik has fixed a car battery that he can connect to the electric piano. So now the Dolce Trio can play "almost" everywhere.

Happy trio.
After the tram ride the whole wedding party had to take a boat out to Brännö, an island outside Gothenburg. There Dolce played waltzes and other dance music on Brännö pier. In Sweden Brännö pier is known from Lasse Dahlqvist's song, dance at Brännö pier ( dans på Brännö brygga) and this was also the desired bridal waltz.
This is the view of the Swedish archipelago from Brännö pier.
Tomorrow we will play a concert in Höreda church at 18.00.  You are very welcome!
