The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra's own Malin Broman and Rick Stotijn premiere Sally Beamish's Double Concerto for Violia and Double Bass together with world renowned conductor Pierre Bleuse. The concert begins with Maurice Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin , with nods to Baroque composer Francoise Couperin's music, while each movement is a tribute to Ravel's two brothers and several friends who died during the First World War.

A mass for the living, not for the dead. Johannes Brahms’ powerful and profoundly beautiful Ein deutsches Requiem – A German Requiem – for orchestra, choir and soloists is a work of deep humanity and hope. This concert also marks the debut of highly acclaimed Swedish conductor Sofi Jeannin with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

At this concert, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s own Jakob Nilsson steps into the spotlight as soloist in the Trombone Concerto by Danish composer Launy Grøndahl. “It’s a standard work that every trombonist knows. It’s lyrical and powerful – comparable to Elgar’s Cello Concerto or Grieg’s Piano Concerto. It showcases the instrument’s full range,” says Jakob Nilsson.

The South Korean conductor Eun Sun Kim makes her debut at Berwaldhallen with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, alongside the Polish pianist Piotr Anderszewski, performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, one of only two piano concertos he wrote in a minor key. The concert begins with the overture to Austrian composer Maria Theresia von Paradis' comic opera Der Schulkandidat (The School Candidate).

Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, the only one he composed for the instrument and a significant cornerstone of the repertoire, together with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the Italian conductor Robin Ticciati. After the intermission, Antonín Dvořák's optimistic and joyful Symphony No. 8, written during a stay at Dvořák's summer residence in Bohemia in 1889, awaits

In his First Symphony, Gustav Mahler takes the listener both out into the natural world and deep into the painful recesses of the human experience. With remarkable brilliance, he portrays human complexity and restlessness.

Mahler’s First Symphony

In the fourth part of Esa-Pekka Salonen's residency, the conductor and composer is joined by the world-renowned pianist Yuja Wang to perform not one, but two concertos: Einojuhani Rautavaara's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. Before that, Jean Sibelius' groundbreaking one-movement Symphony No. 7 in C major. The concert concludes with Claude Debussy's beloved symphonic sketch La Mer (The Sea).

Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang is Konserthuset’s Artist-in-Residence this season and returns to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra several times. This is her third production with the orchestra, each time under the baton of Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft, with whom she has frequently collaborated in recent years.

Bernstein and Berlioz

Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang has, for many years, been one of the world’s most sought-after soloists – known for her unique interpretations and dazzling virtuosity. She made her Konserthuset Stockholm debut in 2009 with the Oslo Philharmonic, and her first appearance with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra came in 2014. Since then, she has returned to the Konserthuset stage on several occasions.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra pays tribute to one of Sweden’s most beloved artists and songwriters in three concerts where Ted Gärdestad’s timeless music meets magnificent symphonic arrangements. Together with Ellen Krauss, Seinabo Sey, Niklas Strömstedt, and Ted’s daughter Sara Zacharias, the orchestra – under the direction of conductor and arranger Erik Arvinder – presents reinterpretations of melodies that have become an integral part of Swedish music history.

Andrés Orozco-Estrada visits the Swedish Radio Concert Hall, Berwaldhallen, to perform Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme for cello and orchestra, inspired by the composer's idol Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, together with the Radio Symphony Orchestra and their own solo cellist Aleksei Kiseliov. Ottorino Respighi in turn composed the orchestral music for the ballet La boutique fantasque, based on piano pieces by Gioachino Rossini. In tonight's concert, we will hear a suite from the ballet, described as a mix between The Nutcracker and Toy Story. Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9 concludes the concert.

Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9

In the spring of 1926, Konserthuset Stockholm was inaugurated – architect Ivar Tengbom’s blue building remains one of the finest examples of Swedish 1920s neoclassicism. It was one of the country’s very first buildings constructed specifically for orchestral music, and it also became the new home of the Nobel Prize award ceremony.

100 Years in Blue

Rachmaninoff’s breathtakingly beautiful Second Piano Concerto and Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony – From the New World – are two of the most beloved works in the classical repertoire. Rachmaninoff’s concerto is filled with passion, longing and romance, but also serenity and peace. For the first time at Konserthuset Stockholm, we welcome the extraordinary Armenian-American pianist Sergei Babayan – a giant among giants.

Rachmaninov and Dvorák

Eastern European folk music with classical harmonies and is . Bengtson will be accompanied by the Finnish conductor Eva Ollikainen and the Radio Symphony Orchestra, who will also perform a world premiere by the Estonian composer Mirjam Tally and a suite based on Richard Strauss' modernist and psychological opera Elektra.

Strauss’ Elektra suite

Gustav Mahler’s Sixth Symphony (composed in 1903–04) is often referred to as The Tragic. Mahler himself used the title for a time – at least around the first performances – but later withdrew it. Still, the name has stuck, not least due to the dark force that permeates the entire work. We encounter a Mahler who swings between the joy of life and catastrophe, between march-like determination and a sense of fateful resignation.

Fateful Hammer Blows

Symphony Orchestra's principal guest conductor Maxim Emelyanychev takes the podium and leads the orchestra initially in Salonen's symphonic poem Nyx inspired by the shadow like godess with the same name in Greek mythology. The South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son then joins for Witold Lutosławski's Variations on a Theme by Paganini, based on Niccolò Paganini's famous Caprice No. 24 for solo violin, known for its virtuosic demands and catchy theme, as well as Richard Strauss' humorous Burleske. The concert concludes with Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3, nicknamed 'Rhenish,' inspired by the composer's time in the Rhineland.

Lutosławski’s fiercely intense Concerto for Orchestra is a modern classic – and one of the most powerful musical experiences imaginable in a concert hall. In this work, the orchestra itself becomes the “soloist,” as different sections are brought to the fore and given their moment to shine. Like his Polish predecessors Chopin and Szymanowski, Lutosławski drew inspiration from traditional Polish folk music – but transformed it into something entirely his own.

Concerto for Orchestra

Nathalie Stutzmann returns to Berwaldhallen to lead the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in music by two of the giants of music history, Johann Sebastian Bach and Johannes Brahms. The concert begins with the sinfonia and an orchestral arrangement of the final chorus from Bach's very first church cantata; BWV 150 Herr, nach dir verlanget mich. Brahms' last and monumental Fourth Symphony concludes the concert.
