Mikael Karlsson's song cycle So We Will Vanish , about the natural destruction in nature, is dedicated to the Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra. When she now performs the work in the Berwaldhallen, it is together with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Jukka-Pekka Saraste. The multi-layered work The Ring of Fire and Love by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen opens this concert, which concludes with Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony – inspired by his brief, unhappy marriage.

Far from a Shakespearean tale, Ekman’s 'Midsummer Night’s Dream' is a mind-bending trip to a surreal realm of unearthly delights. Set during the traditional Scandinavian summer solstice festival, dancers celebrate a day of revelry and romance under the maypole, which soon unravels into an otherworldly dream. Ekman’s picturesque fusion of classical and contemporary ballet blurs the line between the real and the imagined and makes us wonder, is it all a dream?
