Festival history

When she was young, Ann Marie Fröier was a gifted concert pianist, celebrated as one of the best interpreters of Mozart's piano pieces. But she's also bipolar, a disruptive force in both her professional and personal life. These days, 87-year-old Fröier lives a secluded life in Stockholm. Her stuffy house is filled to the brim with knickknacks - even the grand piano in her living room doubles as a cupboard full of papers and her favorite cookies. Every now and then she plays piano for the dancers at a friend's ballet studio, her fingers as nimble as ever. But now she has a bigger plan: she has rented the small room at Stockholm's concert hall, where she'll take to the stage (playing Mozart, of course) with orchestra accompaniment. She'll have to rehearse again - grumpily, always impatient - and she goes around town putting up posters to fill the 450 seats. Director Marie Lundberg follows the energetic, chain-smoking Fröier in her mission and speaks to her about her struggle with depression and manic episodes, the burden it put on her family and her endless love of music.
