Dag Wirén Foundation
Dag Wirén (1905-1986) - composer, pianist, and critic - was one of the renewers of Swedish 20th century music. His music is often characterized by an ascetic quality, and his influences include Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius as well as French 20th century modernism. Dag Wirén's Serenade for String Orchestra is, along with Hugo Alfvén's Midsommarvaka, one of the most often performed Swedish works internationally. The Dag Wirén Foundation organizes events and activities in order to make the music of Dag Wirén even better known and more often performed.
