Philharmonic Day – Second concert with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra

The wonderful “ocean depiction” Bränningar by one of the major female composer pioneers, Helena Munktell (1852–1919), is a piece of music that has been rediscovered in recent years – and has become one of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s true masterpieces. Bränningar had its world premiere in Monte Carlo in 1898.

In addition, Sibelius’ Karelia Suite is music like a painting – in this case, a portrayal of scenes from Finnish and Karelian history. The piece Alla Marcia in particular, which we will hear here, was thought to portray a siege, but don’t we hear instead the bright and gentle footsteps of summer? Truly quick and masterful steps will follow in Alfvén’s Shepherd Girl’s Dance – a piece which the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra has often performed as an encore number on tours all over the world!

For anyone who wants to: sit with and experience a concert from “inside” the orchestra. Gathering on a first come, first served basis beginning 13.15, stalls, right side. Space is limited. From 10 years.
