New Friday is for the curious listener who wants to explore the innovative music of our time. This evening brings together two leading Swedish musicians with distinguished international careers, in a programme of new Swedish music.
Soprano saxophonist Anders Paulsson made his Carnegie Hall debut in New York in 1992 and is regarded as one of the foremost soprano saxophonists of our time. His playing has inspired a wide range of composers to write for him, and he has premiered more than 100 works.
Guitarist Jacob Kellermann is constantly seeking new expressive possibilities for his instrument. This has led to a deep engagement with contemporary music and close collaborations with numerous composers. He is also a member of – and one of the founding members of – the internationally active New European Ensemble.
Here, Kellermann and Paulsson perform music by some of Sweden’s most prominent composers. The programme includes world premierer by Andrea Tarrodi and Ann-Sofi Söderqvist. Adding to this, Ett skepp kommer lastat (“A Ship Comes Laden”) by Britta Byström, written for and dedicated to the duo. We also hear music by Thomas Persson, Bo Hansson, Anders Nilsson, Sven Hagvil and Thomas Lindahl. A rich blend of styles and expressions!
