Helen Sj\u00f6holm, Anders Berglund and Fredrik Lycke are sold on Sondheim.  This evening they celebrate the musical master with the Symphony Orchestra.
\n– His music is eating into your body, Helen Sj\u00f6holm says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interest in tonight’s concert by the Symphony Orchestra and guests Helen Sj\u00f6holm, Anders Berglund and Fredrik Lycke has been great – it\u00b4s sold out since a long time.
\n– It\u00b4s completely sold out. Full up the roof, says Kerstin H\u00f6gberg Karlstrom, sales manager at SON.<\/p>\n

In a few weeks, on March 22, one of the musical world’s great masters, composer Stephen Sondheim, is 80 years old. Artist Anders Berglund wanted to pay attention to that.
\n– His music is very cohesive, lyrics and music are a unit. But it requires singers who can interpret a text and get the message across. When I got my dream performers the concert was obvious, Anders Berglund says.<\/p>\n

 Long relationship<\/strong>
\nFive concerts were released earlier in the Berwald Hall in Stockholm with Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Peter J\u00f6back – which is now being replaced by Fredrik Lycke. The program includes music from Follies, West Side Story and Company.<\/p>\n

Fredrik has a long and heartfelt relationship to Stephen Sondheim musical. One of his first musical role was A Little Night Music, based on Ingmar Bergman’s film “Sommarnattens leende”.
\n– He is an exciting composer who is not satisfied to do the same. He finds new themes and does not repeat himself, says Fredrik Lycke.<\/p>\n

Helen Sj\u00f6holm knew a few songs and had to sit and listen through the material.
\n– It was exciting. Now I am a hardcore fan, she says enthusiastically. It’s incredible how a composer can have such a wide variety in his music. It\u00b4s no wonder that so many musical artists love his dramatic lyrics.<\/p>\n

Scary pies<\/strong>
\nShe would like to do the role of the pie baker in the macabre Sweeney Todd, a musical that Tim Burton a few years ago made a movie of with Johnny Depp in the leading role. Pies are made of human flesh, delivered from a barber who cuts the throat of his customers in his barber`s shop.
\n– It’s funny, totally absurd. It\u00b4s my dream role, and I hope someone will set it up, says Helen Sj\u00f6holm.<\/p>\n
