Each July, the island of Gotland fills its medieval churches with classical music for a week-long chamber music festival. Founded in 1986 by the pianist Staffan Scheja, it brings Swedish and international ensembles to atmospheric venues in Visby and the countryside, in a celebration of fine music among the island's ancient stones.
The Gotland Chamber Music Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
