She debuted as a soloist with the Wiener Jeunesse Orchester at age 14 and since then she has performed throughout Europe and Japan. She now makes her debut at Konserthuset together with Camerata Salzburg.
Camerata Salzburg regularly tours the world, from Paris to Beijing. They primarily perform music from the First Viennese School and with a connection to Salzburg, which has made Camerata Salzburg a cultural ambassador and international symbol of Mozart’s hometown. The orchestra is one of the primary ensembles at both the Salzburg Festival and Mozart Week, and has their own subscription series in the main hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.
The music at this guest performance at Konserthuset is thoroughly Austrian. We hear Julia Hagen as the soloist in Haydn’s original and virtuosic Concerto in D major. We also hear Bruckner’s Andante and two early works by Mozart – including the soulful Symphony No. 29, which with its exquisite form and style more closely resembles a piece of chamber music than symphonic music.

Unsuk Chin describes the music as a sort of fast-forwarding through history, in which music from different eras emerges in new forms and blends together. Unsuk Chin was featured at Konserthuset’s 2013 Composer Festival.
Richard Strauss composed many works with his wife Pauline as the source of inspiration – she was a renowned soprano. He was in his 80s when he came upon a poem by Joseph von Eichendorff about an aging couple who, at the end of their lives together, observe the setting sun and ask themselves: “Might this be death?” This inspired him to begin composing a song cycle that was never completed. After Strauss’ death, his publisher put the four completed songs together, naming them Vier letzte Lieder, “Four Last Songs.”
As vocal soloist, we hear the young soprano Christina Nilsson, who confirmed her place on the opera scene with her sensational debut role as Aida with the Royal Swedish Opera in 2018. She has performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra several times, most recently at a summer concert in 2019.
Beauty and tranquillity continue in the Pastoral Symphony, in which Beethoven describes life in the countryside in the early nineteenth century. He gave the various movements painterly names: “Awakening of Cheerful Feelings Upon Arrival in the Countryside”, “Scene by the Brook”, “Merry Gathering of Country Folk”, “Thunderstorm” and “Shepherd’s Song”. It is a bright, musical journey through the countryside, with only a storm disrupting the idyllic scene.

He is known for his expressive playing, dazzling virtuosity, and the deep sound of his Matteo Goffriller cello from 1701.
Capuçon was soloist for the world premiere of American Lera Auerbach’s cello concerto in Munich in 2021. The piece is now being performed for the first time with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, which commissioned the work. Auberbach, born 1973, is also a poet and a visual artist.
The conductor is French Lionel Bringuier, who debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra as a substitute in January 2022. He works all over the world at the invitation of prominent orchestras and opera houses, and is currently connected to the opera house in his home city of Nice.
Two French works follow the intermission. We hear Paul Dukas’ symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, after Goethe’s poem by the same name. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is also well-known music from the Disney movie Fantasia. The poem is about an apprentice who gets a broom to carry water for him, but cannot get it to stop. Last, we hear Albert Roussel’s most popular work – the dramatic and colourful Symphony No. 3.
