About the series
P� svenskaThis season’s piano series is something quite extraordinary
Pause for a moment. The annual October appearance by the great Grigory Sokolov is a given – a tradition by now – and what about the other pianists on their way: Víkingur Ólafsson, Beatrice Rana, Hélène Grimaud, Lise de la Salle and Seong-Jin Cho? In this anniversary season, the piano series is something truly special.
Víkingur Ólafsson (pictured) continues to captivate the musical world and has previously also been Konserthuset’s Artist-in-Residence. We are proud to welcome the highly sought-after Icelander back. He is closely associated in particular with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “When I play Bach, I am reminded that the periods of music history are concepts we impose on what is in fact an ongoing flow: something that connects us all, like a stream running through us – which, in German, is incidentally a Bach,” says Víkingur Ólafsson.
