Epiphany Concert
Taking us to Vienna around 1900.
The Eichenholz couple host the Epiphany Concert this time: soprano Agneta Eichenholz and conductor Mika Eichenholz.
We are brought to Vienna, the Vienna of the late 1800 and early 1900; to the city of great art and paradoxes, to the city of elegance and walzes, to the city of eroticism and psychoanalysis. It was an age of great discoveries and creativity, of deep introspection and wild expressionism. Wien, wien, nur du allein has shown this kind of light-heartedness and profoundness at the same time.
Agneta Eichenholz is one of Sweden’s foremost lyric sopranos, with an impressively wide repertoire, from the baroque to contemporary music. She had her international breakthrough in 2007, in the title role of Alban Berg’s Lulu at the Royal Opera House in London.
Conductor Mika Eichenholz is a frequent guest conductor in European and South American orchestras. He is also a sought-after opera conductor, with engagements at the opera in Gothenburg, the Wermland Opera and Folkoperan in Stockholm. He has conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on a number of occasions, most recently in 2019.

After the concert, an Epiphany classic: we’re freeing up the floor of seats in the irresistibly beautiful Grünewald Hall to make room for dancing! This time together with Laszlo Royale – the band, featuring Malena Laszlo on vocals, that has played on numerous Nobel banquets!
