Anders Widmark – A Jazz Piano Recital

In January 2024, Anders Widmark performed two sold-out live shows at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, which were filmed and condensed into the half-hour TV concert. The program showcased his sensitive touch and personal musical imagination, featuring improvised jazz variations on themes from Bizet’s opera Carmen, well-known pop and jazz songs, and his original composition “May 30”.
To Be Anders Widmark

The documentary offers a deeper look into the life of this extraordinary musician. Directed by Peter Östlund, documentary explores Widmark’s natural musicality and how it influenced his everyday life. The film is rich with music, providing viewers with an intimate journey into Widmark’s world. Östlund aimed to answer questions about the origins of Widmark’s musical gift and its impact on his life.
Weather To Remember

Widmark’s creative talents extended into the realm of film with this absurd family comedy about musical dreams and constant compromises. The comedy follows a script writer pitching a movie idea to a film commissioner, who keeps interrupting and causing the story to change. The narrative is told three times from different perspectives: the struggling pianist Anton, his slimy manager Alexander, and Anton’s daughter Moa. 

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time. Losing such a talented and cherished individual is a profound loss. May they find comfort in the beautiful memories and the lasting legacy he has left behind.

With best regards,
