Anna Lundqvist

The
Carvalho
Lundqvist
Project.

In 2019, Anna Lundqvist was hired to serve on the jury for the modern music exams at Lusíada University. One of the students was drummer Maria Carvalho. Anna was immediately impressed by the young student and decided to stay in touch with Maria through social media.

Fast forward to 2023, Anna invited Maria for coffee and suggested they start a new project together. A band in which they would be the only core members, with all other musicians decided on a concert-by-concert basis. Maria agreed, and in February 2024 they gave their first concert at Casa do Comum in Lisbon.

The music they perform is original material blended with modern jazz that aligns with European and American traditions.

The goal is to initiate a new form of collaboration, making music with musicians of all ages, genres, and styles. The long term goal is to work between the two countries Sweden and Portugal, and their musicians and institutions.
