Five Music-making Angels, Bronze sculpture in Kristianstad, Sweden.
This bronze sculpture group features five angel boys positioned on tall granite pillars, each playing a different wind instrument. The figures are arranged in coordinated formation to create a unified musical composition.
Swedish sculptor Carl Milles created this work between 1949 and 1950, during a period of intense artistic production. It was made when the artist was deeply engaged with angel themes across multiple projects.
The figures embody musical harmony and youthful joy through their instrument-playing poses. The motif of musical angels became a favorite subject for the artist and appears in different versions at other locations.
The artwork is located at a central position in Kristianstad and can be easily found using municipal art maps. The granite pillars allow good visibility from multiple viewing angles.
Milles described the inspiration for these angels as a dream experience where he was surrounded by music. This personal experience of the artist shaped the emotional essence of the entire composition.
