Live at Millesgården – Part I

The success returns for a third year! Millesgården Museum, in collaboration with Konserthuset Stockholm, presents open-air concerts at Millesgården. Experience music, art and fine food in perfect harmony.

The gates to the sculpture park open well in advance of the concert, giving you time to enjoy the magic of Millesgården in early summer bloom. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine or a light bite at the summer café outside Anne’s House, then find a spot where you can sit back and savour the music.

The evening’s programme features Ravel’s musical portraits of friends who fell victim to the First World War – warm and deeply expressive music inspired by the 18th century. We also hear Joseph Haydn’s final string quartet, which he himself described as “my very finest”, as well as Malcolm Arnold’s light-hearted and lively Three Shanties for wind quintet, based on three English sea shanties. The first will be familiar to many: What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?

The presenter is podcaster and cultural journalist Eric Schüldt, known for his personal and engaging style that both deepens and moves. Performing are a wind quintet and a string quartet from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Orchestra Academy.

The international RSPO Orchestra Academy, founded in 2016 and affiliated with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Konserthuset Stockholm, is an advanced academic programme for young musicians. The participants present themselves in a series of public concerts – as here, with this year’s academy students.
