In a collaboration with St. Jacob’s Chamber Choir and Scandinavian star soloists, they perform Handel’s monumental masterpiece.
Messiah was originally intended to be performed at Easter and premiered at a charity concert in Dublin on 13 April 1742. It was immediately a huge success and Handel presented it to much acclaim at London’s Foundling Hospital each year until his death in 1759.
Numerous stories from the Old and New Testaments are compiled in Messiah, each presented with Baroque means of musical expression spanning from spiritual elevation to temperamental volition. The Hallelujah Chorus is one of the most famous sections.

He composed it for his childhood friend, violin virtuoso Ferdinand David – and the result was incredibly successful. With its light-hearted airiness and singular melodic beauty, this concerto is one of music history’s most popular pieces in all categories. The soloist is the young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovitj.
We also hear music by the unbelievably gifted Romantic composer Franz Schmidt. He studied composition under Bruckner, but also spent fifteen years as a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic; the orchestra’s conductor, Gustav Mahler, always wanted him to take the solo parts. His flowing and emotional late-Romantic music is played all too infrequently. The influences of Bruckner and Mahler are unmistakable, and the music is also personal and expressive.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Latvian conductor Aivis Greters, assistant conductor of the Gothenburg Opera and Orchestre de Paris. This marks his debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. The previously announced conductor Simone Young was obliged to cancel her performances, and as a result Franz Schmidts Symphony No. 2 has been replaced by Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 5.

Even so, the work is regarded as one of the first true Romantic symphonies, with its otherworldly and mystical style. This mysticism was an important starting point for Dobrinka Tabakova when she composed her tribute in 2017, Fantasy Homage to Schubert. The melody in the piece is based on Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy, which he composed the same year as the incomplete symphony.
The Romantic theme continues with Ludvig Irgens-Jensen’s Passacaglia and Carl Maria von Weber’s Bassoon Concerto in F major. The bassoon soloist is Fredrik Ekdahl, section leader of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s bassoons since 2020. He has also performed as soloist with numerous orchestras, and new compositions have been dedicated to him – for example, Jesper Nordin’s bassoon concerto Vicinities, of which he gave the world premiere with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Norwegian Tabita Berglund conducts the concert. Born in 1989, she is an extraordinary talent and has already established herself as one of today’s most exciting and gifted young conductors. Berglund has been principal guest conductor of the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra since the 2021/22 season. She debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at a summer concert in 2021 and was promptly invited to return.

His music often contains elements of traditional Argentinian music without being folklore-inspired. The concerto for harp and orchestra is rhythmically vivid while bringing out the sparkling dimension of the harp.
French harpist Xavier de Maistre is the soloist. He often works with conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle and Riccardo Muti, and is regularly invited in by the leading orchestras. He debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at a summer concert in 2020.
In Symphony No. 1, Gustav Mahler takes the listener out into nature and into life’s moments of pain. With exquisite brilliance, he portrays the complexity and anxiety of humanity. He was inspired by the novel “Titan” by the German Romantic author Jean Paul – Titan is also the title of the symphony – and by the collection of folk poems and songs entitled Des Knaben Wunderhorn, The Boy’s Magic Horn, which deeply touched him.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Finnish conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste, who has had a close relationship with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for decades.

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.

The amphitheatres of antiquity and Ancient Rome came in all shapes and sizes: magnificent and lavish in big cities, simple and understated in smaller towns. It was a reflection of the people and societies who built them. These were places where people could satisfy their hunger for stories and plays. This has been the inspiration for Dean’s dramatic music. The Australian composer was featured at Konserthuset’s 2011 Composer Festival.
In Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, influences from folk music play a central role. While Bartók frequently turned to the wellspring of folk music, this may have reflected a longing for home: he composed the music in exile. His beloved Hungary had become an ally to Nazi Germany, and anti-fascist Bartók saw no other choice but to emigrate to the US. He had difficultly becoming accustomed to his new home, and started to experience symptoms of what would later be diagnosed as leukaemia. In the midst of this darkness, a prestigious commission arose in 1943: the conductor Serge Koussevitzky wanted an orchestral work for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Stravinsky also composed his Symphony in three movements in the US during World War II. The symphony consisted in part of music borrowed from himself – projects that were never completed for various reasons, including movie soundtracks. The Symphony in three movements is music in a Neoclassical style and foretells, for example, the opera The Rake’s Progress. At the same time, the accentuated rhythms are also reminiscent of earlier works, such as the Rite of Spring.
The orchestra is led by Alan Gilbert, Conductor Laureate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. He is now chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra in Hamburg as well as music director of the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm.

She was supposed to have performed at Konserthuset Stockholm last season, but the concert was cancelled due to the pandemic. Now we finally hear her in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, one of his most played and beloved.
Malin Bång’s music is filled with energy and positively boiling with sonorous power. For her piece Splinters of Ebullient Rebellion, she received both the orchestral prize for best composition at Donaueschingen Music Days, and the Swedish Christ Johnson Prize. A piece commissioned by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is now being performed at Konserthuset for the first time.
We also hear Béla Bartók’s vivid Dance Suite, which he composed for the 50-year anniversary of the city of Budapest. He had left his Expressionistic period behind him and chose instead to immerse himself in folk music, but despite the title, this was never intended as music for dancing. The suite consists of six pieces of dreamy folk music with both Arabic influences and imitations of a bagpipe.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra plays under the baton of Russian-born conductor Dima Slobodeniouk, who has long been based in Finland.

Its world premiere in 1913 in Paris is one of the most spectacular scandals in music history. The audience booed and screamed, Stravinsky was furious and left the venue. No, artistic innovation is not always received with open arms, but as everything matures with time, music that was initially met with resistance can evolve into a revered part of the repertoire – as with Rite of Spring, a modern classic.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led in a masterful sampling of orchestral literature by its chief conductor designate, award-winning American Ryan Bancroft. “A dancing conductor bodes well for the musicians,” wrote newspaper SvD after the 2021 Nobel Prize Concert.
In the final of the 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, the demonic violinist Nicolò Paganini created a theme that has always fascinated audiences and inspired other composers. Sergei Rachmaninoff took advantage of the possibilities of the theme when he composed his virtuosic and at times inconceivably beautiful variations for piano and orchestra.
The soloist is Italian Beatrice Rana, who has been praised by audiences and critics alike and is a regular soloist on the world’s major stages.
