Wilhelm Stenhammar’s The Song is, in turn, lyrical as well as majestic. It is rarely performed, as it requires a large orchestra as well as vocal soloists and upwards of a hundred choristers of all ages. Patrik Ringborg conducts this performance of Stenhammar’s tribute to choral singing as a force for unity, as well as the long-awaited world premiere of Emmy Lindström’s Song Without Words for female chorus and orchestra: a personal tribute to Stenhammar.

Fabien Gabel leads the jubilee this gala evening, which begins with a festive surprise – a specially commissioned work by Ylva Fred for this historic concert. Then we give Rolf Martinsson's brilliant trumpet concerto Bridge, where virtuosity and lyrical beauty are united in Håkan Hardenberger's solo.
