Direct from the world’s great jazz stages comes an artist unlike any other.
The Broadway & Jazz Festival at Teatro Niccolini proudly welcomes the incomparable Gunhild Carling, internationally celebrated as “Sweden’s Queen of Swing,” for a dazzling evening of music, glamour, virtuosity, and unforgettable entertainment.
A sensational singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, dancer, and vaudeville star, Gunhild Carling has captivated audiences across Europe and America with her electrifying blend of vintage jazz, Broadway flair, and old-world showmanship. She is famous for performing on more than a dozen instruments, from trumpet and trombone to harp, recorder, harmonica, piano, and even bagpipes—sometimes astonishing audiences by playing three trumpets simultaneously.
An international sensation, Gunhild has appeared with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, toured with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, performed at the United Nations, appeared before Swedish royalty, starred on national television, and sold out acclaimed venues from Birdland Jazz Club in New York to Blue Note Milano.
Her performances are a thrilling celebration of the golden age of entertainment—where New Orleans jazz, Broadway sophistication, dazzling musicianship, comedy, dance, and pure joy collide in a spectacular evening that leaves audiences cheering for more.
For one extraordinary night, Florence will be transported to the glamour of the great jazz palaces, the excitement of Broadway, and the magic of classic vaudeville.
