Stage For A Better Day

Stage For A Better Day is Tim Bergling Foundation’s new national music initiative, giving young people aged 13 to 25 the opportunity to perform on established stages across Sweden. Through open applications, coaching and support, the initiative creates safe environments where participants can grow, gain confidence and build a sense of community. Its aim is to promote young people’s creativity, self-confidence and mental wellbeing through music.

Welcome to an afternoon of music, community and the stars of tomorrow!

Artists:

Rosa Rummet
Rosa Rummet is an indie rock quintet from Gothenburg made up of teenagers Ingrid Waddington, Edith Andersson, Siri Hedegren, Ella Envall and Elmy Sabel. Speaking about their music, the band says: “As young people, we experience so many new things and impressions, and they truly inspire our songwriting.” Their hope is to create music that audiences can relate to.

Symmetric Swing
The quartet, consisting of Lucy Ingerman, Axel Rivera, Felix James and Joseph Bumba, first met in the music corridors of Hvitfeldtska Upper Secondary School in 2014. Blending jazz, fusion and improvisation with a modern sound, Symmetric Swing lives by the motto: “Always play as if it were your last time.”

Aleena Zerin
Aleena Zerin is a 15-year-old artist from Trollhättan who has previously performed at the Talent Competition in Gothenburg. “I’ve been singing since I was little and started playing the piano when I was 12,” says Aleena. “My mother, who was a music teacher in our home country, inspired me to start making music. My father also plays the guitar and taught me some of the basics.”

Guest artist Nisse Hasselgren will perform from 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm. Nisse gained national attention at the age of 13 when he was invited by Håkan Hellström to perform at Ullevi in front of more than 200,000 people. Since then, he has released his own music and continues to develop his career as an artist.
