Next Level is proud to announce that the acclaimed Scandinavian tenor ensemble Eclipse will perform at its launch party, September 27 at the House of Sweden.

Eclipse consists of three young men with the same ambitions, dreams, goals in life and of course a passion for music and singing: John Martin Bengtsson, Angelo Rasmus Hogset, and Johan Christer Novsjo. All three have extensive live experience through concerts and performances at home in Scandinavia and abroad.

When they began singing together they noticed that their voices and musical sensibility complemented each other perfectly. This created a strong desire to make something together, and from this moment, the idea of forming the group Eclipse was born.
