Konserthuset Stockholm – the Blue House at Hötorget – is moving out to Järva, bringing with it a taste of the music that fills the house almost every day of the year. Come and say hello – we’ll tell you more about Konserthuset and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

Wind players from the orchestra will give the final concert of Järva Week. Host for the occasion is Konserthuset’s CEO, Susanne Rydén.

Järva Week is a civic festival and meeting ground with a focus on integration, equality and democracy. Held annually at Spånga IP in north-west Stockholm, the event aims to bridge the gap between citizens, politicians, public authorities, businesses and civil society. Through open discussions, seminars, debates and cultural events, the week highlights current social issues and challenges.

Founded in 2016, Järva Week was inspired by Almedalen Week in Visby – but with the goal of creating a platform for participation and dialogue in a part of society where many people otherwise feel excluded from the public conversation.

It’s time once again for a true summer highlight! The open-air concert at the Maritime Museum on Gärdet is a cherished tradition in Stockholm, delighting audiences for decades. Hugely popular and always well attended, the event often includes sing-alongs and children’s activities – a “must” for many in the Stockholm summer calendar.

This year marks an impressive 50th anniversary for the tradition! As always, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is joined by special guests – this time the Strömstedts: singer Niklas Strömstedt and host Jenny Strömstedt. Conductor Alexander Hanson leads the orchestra.

You are warmly encouraged to arrive early. The Konserthuset area opens at 11.00 with children’s activities in our tent. Bring a picnic or enjoy food and refreshments available on site. The Philharmonic in the Green is presented in collaboration with the Royal National City Park and Dagens Nyheter.

The trailblazing guitarist returns to Konserthuset. Pat Metheny has had a remarkably long career by now, yet his curiosity has never waned. Few, if any, can match his versatility. A true musical explorer, he has engaged in numerous collaborations over the years – often beyond the realm of jazz. Metheny has performed with the likes of Ornette Coleman and Herbie Hancock but has also worked with Steve Reich and David Bowie, to name just a few.

At Konserthuset Stockholm, he presents his latest album, Dream Box (2023) – a collection of solo pieces recorded over several years while on tour, based on musical ideas he stumbled upon on a long-forgotten hard drive.

Metheny has a habit of quickly recording ideas as they emerge. “As I listened through these sessions, I gradually began to sift through the material and realised that a coherent whole was taking shape. I discovered that, without meaning to, I had arrived at a destination I hadn’t planned – and I’m looking forward to sharing what was hidden there.”

Pat Metheny made his debut at Konserthuset Stockholm in 1989 and last visited us in 2022.
