Musica Sveciae is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1966 in Stockholm, Sweden. The ensemble was established with the aim of promoting Swedish music and composers, and has since become one of the most renowned ensembles in the country. The founding members of Musica Sveciae were a group of young musicians who were passionate about classical music and wanted to showcase the works of Swedish composers. The ensemble was initially led by conductor and composer Stig Westerberg, who was instrumental in shaping the group's sound and repertoire. Over the years, Musica Sveciae has had a number of different members, but the core group has remained relatively stable. The ensemble is made up of a variety of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, and is known for its versatility and ability to perform a wide range of musical styles. One of the highlights of Musica Sveciae's career was its performance at the 1970 World Expo in Osaka, Japan. The ensemble was invited to represent Sweden at the event, and performed a series of concerts that were well-received by audiences and critics alike. This performance helped to establish Musica Sveciae as a major force in the classical music world, and led to a number of other high-profile performances and collaborations. In addition to its live performances, Musica Sveciae has also recorded a number of albums over the years. The ensemble's first album, released in 1968, featured the music of Swedish composer Lars Johan Werle, and was well-received by critics. Since then, Musica Sveciae has recorded a number of other albums, including works by composers such as Anders Hillborg, Karin Rehnqvist, and Jan Sandström. Musica Sveciae has received a number of awards and accolades over the years. In 1972, the ensemble was awarded the Swedish Grammy for Best Classical Album for its recording of the music of composer Ingvar Lidholm. The ensemble has also been recognized for its contributions to Swedish music and culture, and has received numerous grants and awards from organizations such as the Swedish Arts Council and the Swedish Academy of Music. Despite its many achievements, Musica Sveciae remains committed to its original mission of promoting Swedish music and composers. The ensemble continues to perform and record the works of both established and emerging Swedish composers, and is widely regarded as one of the most important ensembles in the country's classical music scene.
