Video: José González's enchanting concert at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm

The article covers a special concert by Swedish-Argentine folk musician José González at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, part of Arte's "Sounds Like Art" series. The series invites musicians to perform within museum collections, with previous editions featuring Tom Odell at Musée Bourdelle and Sting at the Rijksmuseum. González's intimate set includes songs from his new album "Against The Dying of The Light" (2026) and a walk through the museum's galleries, highlighting works by Carsten Höller and Maya Deren.

This matters because "Sounds Like Art" exemplifies a growing trend of cross-disciplinary programming that breaks down barriers between visual art and music, offering audiences new ways to experience both. By having an artist like González—trained as a biochemist and passionate about art-science intersections—guide viewers through the museum, the series creates unique contemplative moments that deepen engagement with the artworks and the music alike.
