“Christmas in Sweden: A Musical Lecture”
Presented by: Ingemar & Lisa Johansson
December 11, 2025, 4 pm*
The Mills Community House & ZOOM

Join the Benzie Area Historical Society for an afternoon lecture presented by Ingemar & Lisa Johansson on the Christmas season in Sweden, featuring music and stories of past and current celebrations.

Presenters: Ingemar & Lisa Johansson

Ingemar and Lisa Johansson live the good life in the rolling hills of Northern Michigan. They dwell in a rich wellspring of influence, soul, and sound craft with their music. They have toured widely as a duo and as Song of the Lakes members.

Ingemar writes his songs with the muse of the natural world in his pocket. His voice and strings, guitar, and Swedish nyckelharpa hold solid earth rhythms and melodies with an introspective and poetic verse. The interplay with Lisa's artistry on her flutes in the vein of baroque, blues, and rock with a twist of scandal-Celtic flair is savory and refined like a good Swedish aquavit.

This presentation is part of the Benzie Area Historical Society’s Benzonia Academy Lecture Series, held on the second Thursday of each month. Admission is by donation, with a recommended donation of $5.
