Innovation & Music

Swinging Europe’s long-standing project, PLAY!GROUND LIVE , has consisted of numerous and rewarding experiences – not only for the young musicians who are included in the annual band composition, but just as much for artistic director and musician, Bo Stief, who has been at the forefront of the talent development project for more than 17 years.

Bo Stief’s advice and thoughts concerning talent development, what it means to be a musician in today’s world, as well as what it takes to reach out beyond the musical performance in itself and capture the hearts of the audience has now been documented in mini-films, where Bo Stief is interviewed about what PLAY!GROUND LIVE is able to do as a concept:
