The paternal heart and maternal wing

A storytelling performance about Lina Sandell and her songs.

Blott en dag, Tryggare kan ingen vara and Bred dina vida vingar are well-known and beloved hymns that are sung in many different contexts. They are all written by the same person, the 19th-century poet Lina Sandell, who today is much less known than her hymn texts. With newly written arrangements, Trio Harmonium and Johan Hällgren bring Lina Sandell's texts to life, and Elisabeth Engberg tells the story of an unusual woman's life in the 19th century.
