Experience the grandeur of Beethoven's Eighth Symphony with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of the esteemed conductor Dinis Sousa. This remarkable performance is set to take place on April 24th and 25th, 2023, at the prestigious Berwaldhallen, promising an evening of exquisite music that spans the emotional spectrum.

Ludwig van Beethoven himself described his Eighth Symphony as his "little symphony in F," a light-hearted composition that contrasts with his more substantial Sixth Symphony. Despite its cheerful demeanor, the Eighth Symphony is anything but lightweight, offering a rich, intricate listening experience that showcases Beethoven's mastery of symphonic form.

The concert also features Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 49 in F minor, known as "La passione," a work that delves into darker, more dramatic territories. Complementing these classical masterpieces, the contemporary piece "Vers toi qui es si loin" by Kaija Saariaho, for violin and orchestra, will be performed by the talented Julia Kretz-Larsson, assistant first concertmaster of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. This piece acts as a beacon of light amidst the contrasting moods of the Haydn and Beethoven symphonies.

The entire concert, with an approximate duration of 1 hour and 10 minutes, promises to be a memorable journey through the realms of classical music, from the passionate depths of Haydn's work to the innovative brilliance of Beethoven, and the contemporary resonance of Saariaho.

For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be broadcasted on Swedish Radio P2 on Friday, May 3rd, at 7:03 pm, allowing music lovers everywhere to partake in this extraordinary musical event.

Tickets for the performances on April 24th and 25th are in high demand, with availability varying. Attendees are encouraged to secure their seats promptly to experience the magic of Beethoven's Eighth Symphony, performed by one of the world's leading orchestras, in the heart of Sweden's cultural scene.

In Lo speziale (The Apothecary), the librettist Goldoni demonstrates his belief that ‘comedy was created to correct vice and ridicule bad behaviour’.  Haydn exploits the satire with characteristic wit and colour, and feasts on the comic potential of the four entangled characters.  Sempronio, a work-shy apothecary, spends his time with the newspapers, attempting to sift reality from fake news, but is readily distracted by the charms of his pretty ward Grilletta.  But her fluttering eyes are cast on his shy assistant, Mengone, a youth with little understanding of chemistry who somehow concocts a powerful laxative, to be praised in one of Haydn’s jauntiest arias.  Meanwhile Grilletta is also wooed by the foppish Volpino, whose mastery of disguise leads to a finale of delightful silliness.

Through the inspired use of soloists, full chorus and orchestra, The Creation depicts and celebrates the creation of the earth, and all of its flora and fauna, as narrated in Biblical passages from Genesis and Psalms, as well as from John Milton’s Paradise Lost.
