Fall in Love at the Swedish Church, NY

The summer is saying her final goodbye and leaves turn from green to red. A concert was held on September 21, with the suitable name "Fall in love".

Eva Engman, Helena Liljeblad, Erik Bohman, Ingrid Emanuelsson and David Johansson performed a concert for love as the season turns. In the amber light of the chapel upstairs at the Swedish Church, they performed classics such as "Nocturne Eb major" by Frederic Chopin and "Kärleksvisa/The Love song" by Sarah Dawn Finer - a song dedicated to and performed at the Royal wedding 2010 between Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.

“Fall is the best season for love and we all need some sometimes. So lets fall in love,” the singer Eva Engman said with a twinkle in her eye at the beginning of the concert.

The pews were full and songs accompanied by piano, guitar, flute and violin created harmony as the rain pattered against the church windows and heavenly shades of night were falling.
