Celebrating Sofia Karlssons’ loved performance together with Sofie Livebrant at the Official Sweden Day at Orbeliani Square, Tbilisi in Georgia May 11th 2023. An event under the European Union umbrella since Sweden is the having the leadership until last of June. The Georgian audience did sing along with joy and we all enjoyed this “Sweden Day” where people could enjoy a FIKA (coffee and a cinnamon-bun) and Toast Skagen. Not to end the festivities here, the Georgian State Ensemble of Folk Song – Ensemble Basiani will come to Sweden in end of May and will do a concert at Konserthuset (unfortunately its a closed event for solely invited) but at least you can meet Sofie Livebrant and Basiani in this film teaser! All this feels inspirational and magic!
