Sommarön - Barbro Hörberg in Words and Music

Barbro Hörberg in words and music - about life's joys and sorrows.

Barbro Hörberg found beauty in the scent of a tear-stained handkerchief and the bare branches of November trees. Her literary song texts made the grey everyday shimmer, even when she wrote about torn sheets in desolate marriages. She stepped onto the male-dominated folk-song stage without conforming and created a new kind of narrative texts about women's experiences - often about a longing for peace and idleness, quiet moments of intense presence that were missing from her own life.

Actress Catherine Jeppsson tells, through speech and song, the story of Barbro Hörberg. The programme features well-known and lesser-known songs, including Ögon känsliga för grönt, Gamla älskade barn and Sommarön.

Performers: Catherine Jeppsson and Rune Lindqvist.
