The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/soup-concert-with-rediscovered-trio/Joakim Svenheden is principal concertmaster of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and has soloed with the orchestra on many occasions. At this soup concert, Joakim performs with British cellist Marie Macleod, who has been solo cellist with the orchestra since spring 2013, and pianist Martin Sturfält. Together they will present Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 1 and a trio by Amanda Maier-Röntgen.
Shostakovich composed his trio in 1923, when he was only 16 years old and in a sanatorium after a period of illness. He initially called the piece Poème and wrote it for Tatjana Glivenko, a girl with whom he fell in love during his convalescence. The music features many sharp contrasts in both tempo and emotion, traits which, in addition to lyrical melodies and challenging harmonies, were already distinguishing qualities of his music early on.
Maier-Röntgen was active as a violinist and composer and in 1872, she became Sweden’s first female music director. She was quite certain of her talent and was reluctant to subsequently modify any of her compositions. It is unclear how many pieces she composed, as there is no complete list of her works, but she wrote the recently discovered piano trio in the spring of 1874 in Leipzig, where she had arrived during the autumn of 1873.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/2019-04-12-1215/In the early 1850s, Robert and Clara Schumann moved into a large house, and Clara finally had a quiet space to work in peace. She then composed Three Romances, which she dedicated to violin virtuoso Joseph Joachim. These critically acclaimed pieces contained elements of folk music and references to her husband Robert’s first violin sonata.
When Clara heard the scherzo movement in her friend Johannes Brahms’ Sonata No. 3 for Violin and Piano, she thought it sounded like a young girl at play with her beloved. The dramatic sonata takes the listener back to Brahms’ youth, with a piano section that is unusually solo-focused for a chamber music piece.
Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s music, with its combination of imaginative ideas and technical discipline, has been described as a declaration of faith in the art of composition. She composed the Mazurka for Violin and Piano in 2015.
Daniela Bonfiglioli studied in Gothenburg, the US and Vienna, and has been a member of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s first violin section since 2011. Freelancer Terés Löf studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm under Esther Bodin-Karpe and Staffan Scheja, and debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1.
Menu: Unique ninon soup with lime and sambal, topped with a mint mixture.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/soup-concert-with-brahms-clarinet-quintet/Johannes Brahms had actually been considering stepping back from composing, retiring, and taking it easy when he heard clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld play. He became so inspired that instead, he went home and composed a quintet for his new idol, which he lovingly called “Miss Clarinet”.
Not many pieces had been composed for this type of ensemble before, but the quintets of Mozart and Carl Maria von Weber served as models for Brahms. Many people consider this quintet, with its late Romantic melodies and elements of Hungarian folk dancing, to be Brahms’ finest piece of chamber music. Clara Schumann would certainly agree, because she thought this piece was fabulous!
Hear the acclaimed quintet with Alf Hörberg on clarinet, member of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra since 1996, together with violinists Johannes Lörstad, second violin section leader, Patrik Swedrup, second concertmaster, Grop Mikael Sjögren, alternate viola section leaderand Johannes Rostamo, solo cellist for the orchestra since 2008.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/soup-concert-with-violin-and-cello/When Johann Sebastian Bach worked as Kapellmeister for Prince Leopold in Köthen in 1722, he composed 15 three-part practice pieces for piano for his son, Wilhelm Friedemann. Bach called them sinfonias, and he wrote a foreword in which he clearly described how he wanted the pieces to be used. They should be played simply yet melodically, he wrote, to stir in the musician a desire to try the art of composing her own music.
Like many of Bach’s other educational works, the sinfonias are also far more valuable than merely as practice pieces. Just listen to the beautiful fugues concealed among the parts! His son, Wilhelm Friedemann, later became an organist in Dresden, Halle and Berlin, so clearly these exercises produced results.
With today’s soup, Trio De3 will play these sinfonias in an arrangement by Russian violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky. The trio includes cellist Daniel Holst, who has played with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra since 1989; Joakim Wendel, who has been a member of the first violin section since 2004; and Grop Mikael Sjögren, alternate section leader of the viola section and also a national folk musician.
Menu: Asparagus soup, served with shredded smoked salmon, chives and crème fraiche.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/soup-concert-with-trio-de3/Lera Auerbach was born in Russia but now identifies as an American composer. She has composed commissioned pieces for the Lucerne Festival and the Royal Danish Ballet, and her first opera had its world premiere in 2011 in Vienna. In 2017, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra performed her orchestral piece Icarus. Today’s soup concert offers a taste of Auerbach’s tonal language with Three Dances in the Old Style from 2000.
In addition, we will hear music from J.S. Bach’s 15 inventions, which were originally composed for piano, and two pieces for violin and cello entitled Lullaby and Grotesque by Rebecca Clarke. Clarke was a brilliant alto violinist and a prolific composer who left behind around 100 pieces when she passed away in 1979.
Maurice Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello was completed in 1922 and is dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy, who had passed away a few years before. The piece comprised a new focus in a sense, as Ravel sought out the essence of music with a more concentrated tonal language.
These interpretations are by Gabriel Cornet and Hanna Dahlkvist. Gabriel has been a member of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra since 2016, and previously played with ensembles including the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra. Between 2011–2013, Hanna was Radio Sweden station P2’s artist in residence, which included many radio-broadcast concerts and world premiere performances of work by contemporary Swedish composers. She joined the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in 2015.
