A Swedish song or two in the gardens

A Swedish song or two in the gardens

The world is divided into two types of people: those who hear Swedish singing and think Abba, and those who think of the great 19th century soprano Jenny Lind, who toured the United States in 1850 under the auspices of that indefatigable impresario P.T. Barnum.

For listeners of the latter type, there is the Jenny Lind Concert, which is presented each year free of charge in Yerba Buena Gardens in partnership with the Swedish consulate.
