Det sista ljuset är en nybildad ensemble vars musik bildar ett tunt flor mellan dagen och natten, mellan drömmen och vakenheten, samtiden och historien.
Ensemblens musiker, vilka till vardags kan höras i ensembler som bland andra Skogen och Kommun, har kvällen till ära bjudit in violinisten Eva Lindal som ersättare för den amerikanske trumpetaren Nate Wooley som dessvärre fått förhinder. Eva har utöver sin verksamhet som musiker inom de improvisationsmusikaliska fälten även en gedigen bakgrund inom såväl nutida som äldre tiders musik och har samarbetat med ensembler som bland andra Rebaroque, KammarensembleN och Ensemble Recherche.
Under kvällen kommer ensemblen att framföra ett nyskrivet, timslångt stycke av ensemblens kapellmästare Magnus Granberg, Is This the Night, How Can I Tell?
Eva Lindal: violin
Finn Loxbo: gitarr
Stina Hellberg Agback: harpa
Magnus Granberg: preparerat piano
Ryan Packard: slagverk

Finn Loxbo is a guitarist with a focus on free and structured improvisation. His music is usually on either side of two dynamic extremes: quiet acoustic or very loud.
On the quiet side we find him in his own ensemble Kommun, as a solo act and in collaborations with, for example, Skogen. Examples from the louder side are Kyosaku, Anna Högberg Extended Attack, and previously in bands such as Doglife, Strändernas svall and Fire! Orchestra.
Stina Hellberg Agback is a harpist and composer known for her innovative approach to jazz. She has performed extensively throughout Scandinavia with groups like Namna, SHA3K, and Trilobit, as well as in collaborations with Eva Lindal and Jonas Isaksson.
Besides her own projects, Stina has played with a wide range of ensembles, including Mattias Risberg Mining Extended, Mariam the Believer, and 3 Glas. She's also a skilled orchestral musician, having performed with the Uppsala Chamber Orchestra and the Stockholm Wind Orchestra.
Stina has released acclaimed albums with Namna, SHA3K, and Trilobit, receiving positive reviews from publications like Downbeat, Orkesterjournalen, and Lira. Her music has also been featured in films and recordings by artists like Mattias Olsson, Matti Bye and I.B. Sundström.
Stina holds degrees from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and have also attended Berklee College of Music, Boston, and Trinity College of Music, London.
