Composer and pianist Alex Solely presents his new album.
"The Home Concert" is that kind of home — one you can return to anytime. You open the door, sit by the window, wrap yourself in a blanket and just… listen. There’s no stage — just a living room. No spotlights — only the soft glow of a desk lamp. No crowd — just a few close people. Alex plays a Yamaha digital piano. Beside him, a violin weaves its voice into the silence — gently, almost like a whisper. It’s a wordless dialogue, where every touch of the keys continues the conversation.

Alex Solely - Last Night (Live)

The second movement of the Swedish composer Kraus's String Quartet in G Major is a "Scozzese", or Scottish dance. Part of the Bellevue String Quartet's program, "Nordic Bridges".

Classical art music and folk music have coexisted in Scandinavia since the 17th century. At times, folk music has found its way into classical works, while folk musicians have also adopted melodies from art music and transformed them into folk tunes. Nordic Bridges explores the connection between art music and folk music, as a bridge between two musical worlds. These bridges also extend across the Nordic countries and over different time periods, from the Baroque era to the present day.


About Bellevue String Quartet
As Scandinavia’s only period instrument string quartet, the Bellevue String Quartet engages audiences through their unique, conceptual programs. Jewels of the string quartet repertoire are combined with newly commissioned works, 17th-century consort and arrangements of Scandinavian folk music, offering a musical experience seldom found at a standard string quartet concert. In order to seek out a new and diverse audience, the quartet creates an intimate concert environment, both on the concert stage and in small, non-traditional venues. 

Based in Malmö, Sweden, the quartet performs regularly in a variety of venues in the Öresund region including Klubb Krinolin and Andy’s Corner in Malmö, Magle Konserthus in Lund, Valfisken in Simrishamn and Early Monday in Copenhagen, as well as at Trigonale Festival in Austria. They are planning to release their first CD recording of the “For Four program in 2026.
