Nobel Prize Ceremony

Tue, Dec 10, 2024, 16:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

The Nobel Prize has been presented at Konserthuset on 10 December every year since 1926, with a few exceptions (such as during World War II, when no awards were given in the years 1939–44, and recently during the pandemic 2020–21 when the ceremony couldn't take place at Konserthuset as usual).During the ceremony, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra performs from a specially constructed stage in the choir loft, above the podium. The podium is covered by the signature blue Nobel carpet, to accommodate members of the Swedish Academy, Nobel Prize recipients and the Royal family. A statue of Alfred Nobel forms the focal point on stage, and the great organ is decorated with a grand cockade in the colours of Sweden and Norway.The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony is broadcast on many TV channels around the world, and the event generates considerable global interest.

Summer Concert with Wagner

Thu, Aug 15, 2024, 19:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sergej Bolkhovets (Conductor), Jessica Elevant (Soprano), Susanne Rydén (Presenter)

Helena Munktell’s romantic Suite for large orchestra is a piece that the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra has never before performed in its entirety. The music was composed in 1895, and like the now often performed Bränningar, this suite was premiered in Monte Carlo in the late 19th century.Next, we hear the young Swedish soprano Jessica Elevant tackle Wagner's Wesendonck Songs – music filled with burning longing and celestial beauty. Jessica Elevant has recently gained attention for her participation in Daniel Nelson's opera Pride and Prejudice at the Norrlandsoperan. This marks her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.Another debutant is Sergej Bolkhovets – as a conductor, that is. He has previously been a violin soloist with the orchestra. He leads the orchestra in Shostakovich's first symphony. Already in this symphony, Shostakovich demonstrates his phenomenal ability to handle the orchestra. It's personal music with humorous twists and great finesse. A remarkable symphonic debut by a 19-year-old composer.

Summer Concert – Enigma Variations

Thu, Aug 8, 2024, 19:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Lina González-Granados (Conductor), Sebastian Iivonen (Piano), John Nalan (Piano)

Mozart's 27 piano concertos are all musical highlights. Here's a unique opportunity to hear the only one he composed for two pianos and orchestra. An exquisite dialogue unfolds between the two soloists, who are the young and increasingly acclaimed pianists Sebastian Iivonen and John Nalan, both from Sweden.We also hear Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, one of classical music's most popular works. Elgar had entertained his wife one evening with musical caricatures of people in their circle of friends, which grew into a series of variations for orchestra. "At first, I worked in a humorous spirit and continued seriously", Elgar recounted.Between Mozart and Elgar, we hear new American music inspired by jazz, spirituals, hip-hop, and rock, while rooted in the classical tradition with a distinct American flavour. Jessie Montgomery was raised in Manhattan's Lower East Side in New York, an environment that strongly influenced her music.Lina González-Granados from Colombia makes her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in this concert. She is a super talent who has had great success in the Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition and has assisted Riccardo Muti at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
