Expanding Horizons in Chamber Music

LuKaS Orchestra

Lunds Kammarsolister (LuKaS) is one of Sweden's most innovative chamber music ensembles.

Their debut album, Britten: Les Illuminations & Debussy: Ariettes Oubliées & Clair de Lune, earned a 2022 Grammis nomination for Classical Album of the Year and they won Lund's Cultural Prize that same year.

Founded in 2016, LuKaS, based in Lund, explores new musical territories and combines tradition with innovation.

A notable highlight is their collaboration with the French ensemble Le Balcon and conductor Maxime Pascal, focusing on the Swedish Ballet and 1920s Paris. The performance was acclaimed by Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenskan, and broadcast on Swedish Radio P2.

Other collaborations include violinist Johan Dalene, soprano Sofie Asplund, actress Stina Ekblad, mezzo-soprano Emma Sventelius, and folk duo Hazelius Hedin.

LuKaS continues to redefine classical music presentation, reaching audiences far beyond traditional boundaries.

“When LuKaS blends popular culture with chamber music, something unique emerges. Their Grammy nomination and collaborations with Le Balcon, Stina Ekblad, and others have brought attention to Lund.”
