Konserthuset Stockholm

Monday At Last! String trio ZilliacusPerssonRaitinen continues to invite guest musicians and to explore with them new and old music, often in close contact with the audience. This time, they have invited the increasingly popular Swedish violinist Henrik Naimark Meyers and internationally renowned cellist Torleif Thedéen.

Together, they will present music by Finnish composer Sebastian Fagerlund, who is often described as Impressionistic. In addition, winner of the Polar Music Prize Sofia Gubaidulina’s Rejoice! for violin and cello and Arne Nordheim’s deeply expressive Clamavi for solo cello will be heard. Like many of Nordheim’s pieces, this one is based on a text, Psalm 141 from the Book of Psalms: “I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you.”

Georgy Catoire was one of few Russian composers to join the Wagner Society in 1879. The French-sounding surname was a legacy from his ancestry. He lived for a period in Berlin, but moved in the late 1880s back to Moscow where he later became a professor of composition. The trio ZilliacusPerssonRaitinen, strengthened by Henrik Naimark Meyers and Torleif Thedéen, will perform his richly shifting and densely harmonious string quartet here.

In cooperation with ZPR String Trio

How does an orchestra work? What instruments are included? What do notation and scores look like? What does the conductor do? 

In conjunction with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic's hour-long concerts on some Wednesdays, one of Konserthuset’s music guides or a musician from the orchestra will present an introduction of the orchestra and the music to be played at the evening’s concert. 

The introduction is held in Swedish. A vegetarian sandwich and a drink are included. 

Attend the concert after the meet-up! 

Remember to book a ticket separately to the concert for the same evening, which begins at 18.00. Youth tickets are available from SEK 55 (choir balcony). 

Bach composed four orchestral suites, all equally imaginative in their own way. They consist of several alternatingly fast and slow dances, which was the fashion in the Baroque era. Here, the majestic fourth and final one will be particularly charged by the leadership of internationally acclaimed Baroque expert Ton Koopman on the conductor’s podium.

Joseph Haydn’s last twelve symphonies were colloquially known as the London Symphonies. Haydn was finally finished with his employment with Furst Esterházy and he could do as he wanted. When he received a request for twelve symphonies from Johann Peter Salomon, the German violinist and impresario with his own orchestra in London, he couldn’t say no, for the pay was exceptional. Haydn blossomed and the symphonies comprise a highlight of the classical music of Vienna.

We will get to hear yet another classical masterpiece of Vienna with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 19, in which Swiss Francesco Piemontesi performs the solo. Mozart performed the concerto in 1790 at a concert academy in conjunction with the coronation of Emperor Leopold II. It is therefore occasionally referred to as “the second coronation concerto” in addition to Concerto No. 26, which he also performed on the same occasion. In any event, his nineteenth piano concerto is a wonder of melodic imagination, dreamily lyrical and joyfully masterful.
