Glenn Miller Orchestra

Sat, May 10, 2025, 16:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Glenn Miller Orchestra, Scandinavia
The Glenn Miller Orchestra draws attention to world peace 80 years after the end of World War II, and highlights the importance of Glenn Miller’s music in this context. The big band welcomes 21 additional musicians at this concert, thus replicating the lineup of the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. We hear a series of original arrangements, some of which have not been played since the war.Through his music and the unique sound of the orchestra, Glenn Miller created his own genre of swing in the jazz world. In just four years, he launched 23 number one hits – more than Elvis and The Beatles. Glenn Miller became the biggest music icon in the US. He volunteered to join the military and brought his music to Europe through his military orchestra. This would ultimately cost him his life: he disappeared in an airplane over the English Channel. But his orchestra still performs his music all over the world, more than 80 years after his passing.Glenn Miller Orchestra Scandinavia formed in 2010 with a license from Glenn Miller Productions, Inc., New York, USA. Based in Stockholm, the orchestra is led by trombone player Jan Slottenäs and regularly tours Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Regarded by many internationally as the leading Glenn Miller orchestra, the ensemble includes several young musicians from Sweden’s jazz elite.

Nordic Christmas

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Helene Blum (Violin), Helene Blum (Vocals), Harald Haugaard (Violin), Lena Jonsson (Violin), Kristine Elise Pedersen (Cello), Mattias Pérez (Guitar), Sune Rahbek (Drums)
Christmas is a time to find peace and to listen. To hear what is important in life. Christmas is full of traditions that connect people across age boundaries and link the present with the past. Singer Helene Blum and violinist Harald Haugaard bring the special atmosphere of the Nordic winter into the concert hall. Their programme »Nordic Christmas« celebrates this auspicious time with authentic and lovingly selected pieces and stories. The Danish musicians and their changing guests skilfully tell of the little moments, and between the notes the audience sees the tracks in the snow, hears the goblins giggling and the reindeer rattling. Time seems to stand still – until the next drum roll sounds and a lively dance begins...

Luisa Miller

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 19:00
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Lorenzo Passerini (Musical Director), Adam Palka (Il Conte di Walter), Giorgio Berrugi (Rodolfo), George Gagnidze (Miller), Narea Son (Luisa), Brindley Sherratt (Wurm), Kristina Stanek (Federica), Nora Kazemieh (Laura), Ziad Nehme (Un Contadino), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)
"Luisa Miller" is Giuseppe Verdi’s third setting of a play by Friedrich Schiller. “It is a great drama, full of passion and very effective in theatrical terms,” the composer wrote to the librettist Salvadore Cammarano about Kabale und Liebe. In order to conform to the expectations of the censors and audience, Verdi first had to reduce the play to a libretto suitable for opera, moving the focus from Schiller’s political tale to the family drama. In his opera, first performed in Naples in 1849, Verdi produced outstanding character studies of all his protagonists. In this work he laid the foundation for many “Verdi types” of later years, e.g. Iago, Giorgio Germont, Aida or Desdemona. Luisa Miller was first performed in Hamburg at the Hamburg State Opera in 1981 in a new production conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli and directed by Luciano Damiani, who also designed the sets and costumes at the time.
