We warmly welcome back the phenomenal violinist Johan Dalene, who has already taken the classical music world by storm through competition wins and acclaimed recordings. Here, he performs Brahms’ magnificent Violin Concerto – a work overflowing with melody and rich in harmonic adventures that venture far off the beaten path. It’s stunningly beautiful music – at times euphoric and even dance-like in its joy.

Spring takes centre stage in this concert, as French conductor Lucie Leguay makes her debut at Konserthuset Stockholm with an all-French programme.

Welcome to the pastures! To the alluring tones of the mythical horn, a Sweden is reawakened at the crossroads between public housing and neoliberalism, between innocence and sin, between beauty and ugliness. Here the goats will be milked, the cheese will be curdled and the sausage stuffed.

Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's meeting with Richard Wagner is the start of an intense friendship and an equally dramatic break. In the newly written musical theatre performance by Joakim Sten, we meet actor Jonas Karlsson who, while hiking on a Swiss alpine peak, reevaluates a musical genius.

The philosopher Nietzsche based his entire thinking on music. When he met the great composer Richard Wagner as a young man, he was overwhelmed – both artistically and intellectually. Wagner befriended him, had him write lyrics that praised Wagner himself, and shaped him into his ideological disciple. But as Nietzsche began to see through his mentor and despise his growing anti-Semitism, the questions grew: Where will this lead? What kind of world will this create?

Nietzsche versus Wagner
