Lilla Akademien, best translated as “The Junior Academy”, is a Stockholm-based music school funded in 1994 to give its pupils a solid musical foundation on which to build their lives. In a few years, Lilla Akademien has become one of the most significant institutions for the education of young musicians in Scandinavia, and has established itself as an important part of the Stockholm music scene, performing numerous concerts across the country every year. This unique school offers full-time tuition in music and regular schooling for children from 6 years and up, and enthusiastically welcomes students from all backgrounds in a willingness to reflect Sweden’s multiculturalism.
