Soup with cello and piano

Fri, Mar 14, 2025, 12:15

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)

Hanna Dahlkvist (Cello), Darya Tchaikovsky (Piano)

Welcome to a soup concert dedicated to the wonderful music country of Czechia. While most people are familiar with and enjoy Dvořák, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's cellist Hanna Dahlkvist and guest pianist Darya Tchaikovsky show that there is so much more.First, we hear music by the extremely talented conductor and composer Vítezslava Kaprálová (1915–40). She passed away at the age of 25 from tuberculosis but managed to compose an impressive amount of music. She also wrote a series of excellent chamber music works, such as the explosive Deux ritournelles for cello and piano.Vítezslava Kaprálová studied with Bohuslav Martinu, and from him, we hear the brightly colored and rhythmically vibrant third cello sonata – one of his most beloved pieces. Martinu, in turn, studied with Josef Suk, who was Antonín Dvořák's favorite student at the Prague Conservatory. They also got to know each other personally, and Josef Suk later married Dvořák's daughter Otilie. Suk's music is characterized by a flowing melody and lyrical passion, as heard in his Ballad and Serenade, which at times recalls Brahms's late chamber music.***Menu: Broccoli soup with parmesan. The soup is served with sourdough bread, crispbread, butter, mineral water/light beer, coffee/tea, and a piece of chocolate. Wine and beer available for purchase for those who wish.All soups are lactose- and gluten-free. Please inform us of any special dietary requests when booking.

Virtuosity and charm / ECHO Rising Stars Recital (cancelled)

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Carlos Ferreira (Clarinet), Pedro Emanuel Pereira (Piano)

The concert has been cancelled. Refunds for tickets purchased online will be made automatically. Tickets purchased at NOSPR box offices can be refunded by visiting NOSPR box offices.While Charles-Marie Widor remains best known among organ music aficionados, clarinetists owe to him the Introduction et Rondo – a piece, in which they can show both virtuosity and a lyrical charm. Debussy’s Première rhapsodie, in turn, is a product made to a commission from the Paris Conservatoire: a school piece which exceeded expectations to such a degree that the composer was later happy to arrange in for the clarinet and orchestra. While doing so, he retained the characteristic fogged-up sound, thanks to which the solo instrument cannot be mistaken f other. The young virtuoso Carlos Ferreira finds satisfaction both in his work with the prestigious Orchestre National de France and in chamber music – in a duo with the pianist and composer Pedro Emanuel Pereira, who wrote the suite Duas Igrejas, ringing with the nostalgia of the Portuguese fado, especially for him. On their joint album, we can also find the neoclassical Sonatina by Joseph Horovitz. What else are they going to surprise us with? This we will learn from the concert... Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: 80 minutes
