Booking information

Konserthuset Stockholm temporarily introduces special seating plans for concerts. This is to ensure that we follow current regulations with a distance of at least one meter between all visitors in the hall. To create the greatest possible capacity and predictability, we only sell single seats, every other chair, both sideways and in depth. This means that if you go to the concert with a friend or a group, there will be an empty chair between you.

The voluminous Trio in E-flat major is the jewel of Franz Schubert’s four piano trios. The theme in the second movement was inspired by a Swedish folk song, See the Sun Set, composed by Isak Albert Berg. 

The resemblance between Berg’s melody and the celebrated second movement from Schubert’s piano trio is indeed quite striking, even if it is not an exact imitation. This movement from Schubert’s Trio in E-flat major has become something of a global hit. Director Stanley Kubrick used it as a key musical theme in his movie Barry Lyndon, and it has appeared in a long line of other movies and docudramas, and in vignettes on TV shows.

The trio is one of Schubert’s last bigger compositions, and despite the limited power of the ensemble, it is filled with a tangible magnificence. Schubert dated the trio November 1827 and it was first performed at a private event in January the following year – which is also the year of Schubert’s death, at just 31 years of age. 

Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat major is performed here by Johannes Lörstad, section leader of the second violins in the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra; Marie Macleod, solo cellist; and pianist Martin Sturfält, who is particularly well-known as a distinguished interpreter of the music of Stenhammar.

Menu: Corn soup with roasted corn & chorizo. The soup is served with sourdough bread, crispbread, whipped butter, and cheese as well as drinks and coffee/tea with a small biscuit. All the soups are lactose- and gluten-free. Please let us know any dietary requirements when booking.

Konserthuset Stockholm at Hötorget is one of Sweden’s great architectural masterpieces. Created during a period of expansion in Stockholm, by the Swedish architect Ivar Tengbom, it opened in 1926.

Royal Swedish Army Band performs British music

Ralph Vaughan Williams is one of England’s best known and most significant composers. His varied, atmospheric music contains everything from passionate drama and charged energy to reflective moments of calm.

If Ralph Vaughan Williams were still alive, he would now be turning 150 years old. The Royal Swedish Army Band is paying tribute with a concert featuring several of our favourite works by this composer. The programme includes Toccata Marziale, a true classic for symphonic brass band, and English Folk Song Suite, one of Vaughan Williams’ most performed and popular pieces.

The Royal Swedish Army Band in Stockholm is Sweden’s biggest music corps and has an excellent reputation nationally and internationally. The ensemble frequently performs at major public events, such as the Swedish National Day celebration at Skansen, and His Majesty the King’s birthday celebration at the Royal Palace.

The Royal Swedish Army Band will be led by Andrew Manze, the internationally acclaimed conductor who was principal conductor of the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra from 2006–2014.

Tristan and Isolde is Richard Wagner’s most personal and sensual musical drama. In it, he has fully realised his dramatic ideals and the music is filled with symphonic splendour. This trailblazing music intertwines melodies that weave in and around each other, creating a rare sense of timelessness that reinforces the opera’s theme of endless love. 

This concert version of Tristan and Isolde is populated by an internationally renowned ensemble of singers, featuring Heidi Melton. These world-class singers are all among the elite in the world of Wagner.

For the home audience, Swedish Katarina Karnéus may be the most familiar among them, as she has performed at Konserthuset Stockholm several times before (including in Schoenberg’s Erwartung in Double Drama in January 2019).

The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the singers are led by American conductor Karina Canellakis.

Italian pianist Federico Colli debuted at Konserthuset in 2019, with no less than two performances on short notice: a recital, and as a soloist with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Colli received wide acclaim after winning the International Mozart Competition Salzburg in 2011 and the Leeds International Piano Competition the following year.

Now he is back with Mozart’s Piano Sonata K.333, which is one of the composer’s finest, with its sparkling first movement, exquisite second movement and elegant finale. In the three fantasias, we also experience Mozart’s phenomenal improvisational skill.

Schubert’s Fantasia for piano, Opus 103, was originally composed for piano four-hands, and it is his most significant composition for more than one pianist. Here, Federico Colli performs an arrangement for solo piano, as well as a piano version of Sergei Prokofiev’s fascinating and wonderfully humorous story, Peter and the Wolf.
