Tisdagsmatiné: Bebbes bästa med Trio Flamme

Trio Flamme performs Bengt Ahlfors' well-known and lesser-known theatre songs in the programme Bebbes bästa med Trio Flamme.

Bengt Ahlfors and Trio Flamme started their collaboration a few years ago. Now, they sing together in a concert where all the lyrics and most of the music are crafted by Bengt Ahlfors.

The concert features Ahlfors' tragicomic ballads and love songs from cabarets and musicals, beloved classics, and a few nearly forgotten gems from the early years. As a cherry on top, there's a bunch of songs written specifically for Trio Flamme.

Trio Flamme consists of Emilie Adolfsson, Daniela Fogelholm, and Minna Nyberg. The trio returns to the Finnish-Swedish theatre, music, and revue tradition. Over the years, they have toured around Finland and Sweden with various concert programs. For this concert, the ensemble has enlisted the skills of multi-instrumentalist Esko Grundström, who can be heard on double bass and accordion.

Bengt Ahlfors is a director and writer. Many of his plays have had premieres at Lilla Teatern in Helsinki and have later been performed in many languages in many countries, totaling over 460 productions, making him the most translated and performed Finnish playwright. He has also published ten books, including poetry, prose, and theatre memories. As a songwriter, he initially collaborated with different composers, especially Erna Tauro, Otto Donner, and Eero Ojanen. Since the 1970s, he has set his own lyrics to music.
