The Orpheus fountain is located in front of the Concert Hall in Stockholm, Sweden. It was created in 1936 by Carl Emil Andersson Milles, who was at that time Sweden's greatest living sculptor. The 24-ft. bronze figure of Orpheus, demigod of Music, is poised with his great lyre lifted and the other hand just sprung from the strings. In the fountain below him there is a circle of eight listeners, wakened from death, turn outward and upward toward the music.
