He has conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra well over 200 times since his debut in 1954. He is an international great, having worked with the Dresden Staatskapelle, Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig, Berlin Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris and above all, the San Francisco Symphony, where he spent a decade as chief conductor. In conjunction with his 90th birthday, when he conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Konserthuset Stockholm named its large conductor’s dressing room after him. He turns 95 this year.
At this welcome return, he leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in Arthur Honegger’s third symphony, composed shortly after World War II. Here, in perhaps his best known work, Honegger describes human joy and despair. The music can be interpreted as a journey from brutality to hope and peace.
Brahms’ fourth and final symphony is infused with melancholic anxiety. It also undergoes a transformation, from difficult twilight to dark night. The fact that Brahms’ symphonic role model was Beethoven is well known and is also evident in the fourth symphony. But this does not mean imitation. The last movement is a dense and striking passacaglia, in which a recurring line of melody in the bass part forms the foundation for the dramatic, passionate finale.

Tickets go on sale 25 August 11.00 to Laura Netzel’s Piano Concerto
Presale for subscribers from 23 August 11.00 to Laura Netzel’s Piano ConcertoThe link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2022/laura-netzels-piano-concerto/20221027-1900/The event has been downloaded Open the file saved on your device to add it to your digital calendar.The romantic music of Laura Netzel (1839–1927) received extensive attention in the nineteenth century, especially in France, where she studied with the acclaimed Charles-Marie Widor. But she was born in Finland and grew up in Stockholm. When she composed the piano concerto in the early twentieth century, she was one of Sweden’s most successful composers internationally.
Laura Netzel broke new ground with the piano concerto, both for herself and for female composers in Sweden. But when the manuscript was found, it was missing the end of the third movement. Pianist Peter Friis Johansson completed the concerto in partnership with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Klas Gagge, and performed the piece in its entirety for the first time together with the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra in 2020.
Here, we hear him as soloist in Netzel’s sumptuous and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful and masterful piano concerto, together with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra is led by its chief conductor designate, the award-winning American Ryan Bancroft – who also conducted the performance in Norrköping. “A dancing conductor bodes well for the musicians,” wrote newspaper SvD after the 2021 Nobel Prize Concert.
Aaron Copland began composing his third symphony towards the end of World War II. His starting point was to compose the ‘great American symphony’ – music that contained powerful emotions of hope and joy, as well as worry about the future when the war was over. This music is manifestly lyrical, with a strong and heroically jubilant finale.

She was a composer and one of the leading figures of the suffragette movement fighting for women’s right to vote in England. She was one of the first female composers to be appointed Dame of the British Empire.
Her concerto for the unusual combination of violin and horn is romantic, passionate, and filled with melodic enchantment. The soloists are the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s concertmaster Andrej Power, violin, and Martin Schöpfer, solo horn player.
The symphony in D minor is César Franck’s most significant work. The music unites a splendid German sound with French esprit. Franck was born in Liège, Belgium, and moved to Paris where he was a teacher and organist. His students encouraged him to compose the symphony in D minor, which he dedicated to his student Henri Duparc, who himself became a highly prolific composer. Conductor Laureate and former chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

In his Impressionistic masterpiece La Mer, Debussy conveys his personal memories of the sea, which he actually preferred to experience through art and literature as an adult.
For Ethel Smyth, the cliffs of Cornwall demanded to be portrayed through music. On the Cliffs of Cornwall is from the opera The Wreckers, which takes place on the Cornwall coast. During her lifetime, Ethel Smyth was an acclaimed personality, both as a composer and as one of the leading figures of the suffragette movement in the fight for women’s right to vote. For her work in the field of music, Ethel Smyth was named Dame of the British Empire.
Nature was also a natural starting point for the versatile Torbjörn Iwan Lundquist. His Concerto for Tuba and Strings, with the painterly title Landskap (Landscape), is filled with warmly billowing melodies and rhythmic intensity. The soloist is the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s tuba player Karl-Johan Elf.
The concert begins with the Swan of Tuonela, the most famous movement from Sibelius’ Lemminkäinen Suite. The Swan of Tuonela was originally intended as an overture to the never-completed opera, the Building of the Boat. Instead, Sibelius entered the mythological world of the Kalevala and created the great Lemminkäinen Cycle for orchestra.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Joshua Weilerstein, a popular guest with major orchestras in Europe and North America alike. He was recently appointed chief conductor of the Phoenix Orchestra in Boston.

At this concert, we hear him in Edward Elgar’s Violin Concerto, which was an immediate success after the world premiere in 1910. “It is good! Incredibly emotional! Too emotional, but I love it!” he said of his violin concerto.
Richard Strauss was a great admirer of Richard Wagner. Influenced by Wagner, Strauss abandoned the abstract, classical symphonies and sonatas of his youth and began to compose great tone poems inspired by literature and nature instead. In 1889, he completed the symphonic poem Don Juan, based on the poem by Nikolaus Lenaus, which is in turn based on the Spanish legend of Don Juan.
In addition, we hear music by American composer Paola Prestini for the first time at Konserthuset. Prestini, born in 1975, works with everything from poets and filmmakers to researchers and has become known for her innovative ideas and for crossing the boundaries of genre and uniting discrete disciplines. We hear one of her early works here: Barcarola, from 1996.
Italian Speranza Scappucci conducts this concert. She is a frequent guest at the world’s major opera houses, for example in Vienna, Rome, Zürich, Los Angeles and New York – and now it is time for her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

His richly associative, nearly cinematic narrative compositions are performed by orchestras all over the world. Now he is at the centre of Konserthuset Stockholm’s Composer Weekend 2023.
At this inaugural concert, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra will give the world premiere of a newly composed opening piece. We also hear the trumpet concerto Lucernaris, written for internationally renowned trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger, who is also the soloist.
The title Lucernaris refers to a Catholic lamp-lighting ceremony. Broström describes the piece as a journey from darkness to light, both on an overall poetic level – between darkness and light, cold and warmth – but also specifically musically, between soloist and orchestra.
The first symphony had its world premiere in 2022 and was commissioned by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. This is its second performance.

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.
