Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra / Nina Stemme / Ryan Bancroft

Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Nina Stemme (Soprano), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
The British Telegraph described Nina Stemme as undoubtedly »the greatest dramatic soprano of our time«, while German daily Die Welt recently paid tribute to her voice as »a soprano with a dark chestnut shimmer whose soft power is a true event«.The Swedish soprano can now be heard in Gustav Mahler’s highly emotional »Kindertotenlieder« at the Elbphilharmonie, accompanied by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of its new chief conductor, young high-flyer Ryan Bancroft. The poet Friedrich Rückert dealt with the death of two of his children in over 400 poems, five of which Mahler set to music. And they have it all: in highly expressive, almost operatic style, Mahler uses all the timbres of the orchestra to illustrate the texts. Tragic, dark and beautiful at the same time – as if made for Nina Stemme. Ryan Bancroft is one of the most exciting young conductors of our time: orchestras and audiences alike are thrilled by his presence: »Even the little finger of his right hand is expressive,« the Times wrote about him. For the first time, he is a guest on the Elbe with »his« Stockholm orchestra, and dedicates the second half of the concert to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, which deals in powerful music with the unpredictability of fate.

Philharmonic Day – Peter and the Wolf

Sat, Jan 11, 2025, 11:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Andreas van Tol (Conductor), Ayla Kabaca (Narrator)
The humorous and captivating story of Peter and the Wolf is undoubtedly the most beloved musical tale ever created. Based on a Russian folktale, Sergei Prokofiev's remarkable music has entertained generations of children and adults since its premiere in 1936.Peter lives a simple life on a farm with his grandfather. He is an outcast among the local children, and his best friends are a bird, a cat, and a slightly scatterbrained duck. Despite his grandfather’s warnings, Peter takes his friends into the alluring but dangerous forest, where the wolf is lurking.Each character is musically portrayed by a different instrument. The cat is a softly prowling clarinet, the duck a quacking oboe, the grandfather is heard through the bassoon, and the wolf is brought to life by three menacing French horns. To help children learn what the different instruments look and sound like, the performance begins with an introduction by each instrument.The performance also features illustrations by the legendary artist Ilon Wikland, renowned for her long collaboration with Astrid Lindgren.Strollers and prams cannot be brought into Konserthuset Stockholm and are best left at home. A designated stroller tent is set up outside the entrance, where prams can be left, subject to space availability.
