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.

SR Berwaldhallen

Carmina Burana - songs from Beuren - is German composer Carl Orff's setting of forbidden folk poems from the 12th and 13th centuries. The almost iconic work is interpreted here by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Radio Choir, the soprano Karolina Bengtsson, the tenor Tobias Westman and the baritone David Risberg under the direction of the Taiwanese conductor Yi-Chen Lin. In addition, Emmy Lindström's Rösaring - concerto for orchestra inspired by a wonderfully situated ancient relic from the Viking Age - will be premiered.
