Spring

Thu, Mar 20, 2025, 19:30
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Bruno Borralhinho (Conductor), Junges Sinfonieorchester Dresden am Landesgymnasium für Musik
"Everything rejoices and hopes when spring renews itself," said Friedrich Schiller. Right on time for the beginning of spring, the musicians of the Young Symphony Orchestra at the State High School for Music invite the audience on an exciting musical journey from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Joseph Haydn's very special Symphony in F minor, "La passione," already suggests a connection between the Easter and Passion time and Ostara - the Germanic goddess of spring, fertility, and dawn. The inspiration for the program is also evident through the melodious Spring tributes of Frederik Delius, Jean Sibelius, or Lili Boulanger, with the musical journey also leading through distant and unique landscapes of the European continent: from the idyllic plains of England to the cool Parisian mornings and into the Finnish wilderness. Less picturesque, but brilliantly vivid, Antonín Dvorák explores the contrasting colors of the wilderness in a fascinating way in "The Wood Dove." Finally, Johann Strauss gifts us with light, warmth, and coziness in his waltz "Roses from the South."

Swedish Music Spring – Singing Guidance

Tue, Mar 18, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
KammarensembleN, Harmony of Voices, Fredrik Malmberg (Conductor), Alexandra Büchel (Soprano), Jonny Axelsson (Percussion), Jonas Nordberg (Theorbo), Hannes Meidal (Reciter)
In all three works, the vocal element takes centre stage. Soprano soloist in two of the pieces is Alexandra Büchel – one of our foremost interpreters of contemporary music, among other genres. This spring, she appears at Norrlandsoperan in the newly composed opera Älskarinnorna by Jenny Wilson, based on Elfriede Jelinek’s novel Women as Lovers (Die Liebhaberinnen).Vägar, flyktvägar (Paths, Escape Routes) for soprano and percussion by Ylva Q Arkvik is a triptych exploring themes of captivity in the past, the longing to flee from and to something new, and the magic of liberation in an unexpected moment. The poems are taken from an upcoming collection by playwright, librettist, and author Kerstin Perski. The music captures the dreamlike quality of the texts.Omnia tempus habent (Everything Has Its Time) is Arne Mellnäs’s setting of the text from Ecclesiastes. Composed for solo soprano, it conveys a consoling message in both words and music: hardship is temporary, and light will return. The piece, best performed in a venue with generous acoustics, was premiered in 1972 at Visby Cathedral by Marianne Mellnäs.Jag märker allting (I Notice Everything) by Hans Gefors is a cantata in a prologue and twelve movements, with actor Hannes Meidal as narrator, guiding us through the music. As vocal soloist, we hear countertenor Elias Aaron Johansson. Gefors weaves together lines from Strindberg’s pilgrimage play To Damascus with poems by the 20th-century Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez. The work is inspired by the Baroque cantata tradition, reflected both in its structure and instrumentation: narration, countertenor, a small choir, two violins, cello, percussion, and theorbo.In collaboration with Swedish Music Spring. The concert is produced in partnership with the Society of Swedish Composers.
