It is a mighty hymn to nature, longing, wine and love’s delights. The musicians are led by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s chief conductor designate, the award-winning American Ryan Bancroft. “A dancing conductor bodes well for the musicians,” wrote newspaper SvD after the 2021 Nobel Prize Concert.
Carl Orff was born in the Bavarian city of Munich and described Carmina Burana as a dramatic cantata subtitled “secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images.” The lyrics were found in the early nineteenth century in Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria and were named accordingly – Carmina Burana, Songs of Beuren. Most were written in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and they include satire, parody, love songs, lyrics about nature, songs of spring, and dedicated religiosity.
We also hear music by Austrian Franz Schreker, one of the most refined sound artists of the early twentieth century. His entire life, he was fascinated by sound and tones. Vorspiel zu einem Drama – prelude to a drama – is a reworking of the introduction to his opera Die Gezeichneten, The Branded, an expressionist and powerful psychological drama.
The concert begins with Swedish Lisa Streich, who is known for her beautiful and imaginative orchestral works. As we note in her Segel (Sail), she also gladly uses many as well as unusual percussion instruments – including an egg slicer!

It is the story of a sensitive young musician who, out of frustration, poisons himself with opium. The drug sends him into a deep vision-filled sleep. Feelings, emotions and memories are transformed into musical imagery and ideas as they slip through his troubled mind. His beloved is transformed into a melody, a recurring theme, a fixed idea, that plagues him incessantly.
The concert begins with Mozart’s elegant and ample Piano Concerto No. 25, thought by many to be his best. The first movement is vast and grandiose, while the second has the form of a breezy andante, in which the woodwinds delicately back the solo part. The finale is powerful, with dark strings occasionally cutting into the otherwise bright atmosphere.
Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan is the soloist. He performs with many of the world’s foremost orchestras, not least the New York Philharmonic, with which he has had a close collaboration for several years. He has also guest-performed at Konserthuset Stockholm previously, most recently in 2020, when he was the soloist in Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra was led at that time by Conductor Laureate Alan Gilbert, who also leads the orchestra at this performance.

But its roots reach all the way back to Gustav Mahler, Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg. She is also particularly inspired by visual arts, performance and installation art, literature, theatre and film. It all merges in her music into something entirely new, personal, and infused with a contemporary sound. When her opera Orlando had its world premiere at the Vienna State Opera in October 2019 it was the first time an opera by a female composer was performed on that historic stage.
With celesta, a chorus of violins and a richly armed percussion section, Olga Neuwirth teases out surprising effects from the orchestra in Clinamen/Nodus. It was commissioned in honour of the 75th birthday of Pierre Boulez. He conducted the world premiere himself in London in 2000.
Keyframes for a Hippogriff – Musical Calligrams in memoriam Hester Diamond is a tribute to American art collector Hester Diamond and simultaneously conveys her great interest in film technique. Keyframes are the drawings in computer-animated movies that define the start and end of a smooth movement.
EVVIVA! is a tribute piece dedicated to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, commissioned by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for the academy’s 250th anniversary in 2021.
Masaot/Clocks without Hands was also commissioned in celebration of a composer, this time by the Vienna Philharmonic in honour of the 100-year anniversary of the death of Gustav Mahler. The music is a poetic reflection on time and how memories fade and are re-created. An enormous tapestry of sound unleashes exuberant music from the Balkans, but with a different, peculiar atmosphere.

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 Simone Young, who grew up and studied in Australia, but has a world-leading German and Austrian repertoire. In 2005 she became the first woman to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic and she spent many years as artistic director of the Hamburg State Opera and chief music director of the Hamburg Philharmonic.

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. She debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in January 2020 with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. It is with great joy that we welcome her back.
