This is the essence of chamber musicianship – we play what we like. We play for pleasure - our own and that of our listeners. The idea of chamber music is summarised in the Italian term da camera, which means playing for a chamber, a room, or a small hall. It denotes semi-private, intimate music. It is lovely when such a mood is carried into the concert hall. Today, there is an opportunity to do so because we love the tunes we already know, and there are plenty of them here. Most listeners will recognise Sting's Roxanne, Satie's Gnosienne or Barber's Adagio. Exactly like in the programme Name That Tune, after two sounds, we will already know what's coming next. Concert hall goers, on the other hand, will once again be seduced by gripping Schubert's Andante or Arvo Pärt's Fratres. Lovers of cinematic melodramas will get a handful of John Williams tunes, while refined musical gourmets will get Glass's Mishima, Vasks' Meditation and Schnittke's waltz. Not a single note goes to waste here! Adam Suprynowicz
The New York-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider has been attracting a wide audience since its inception in 2005 with concerts that often cross genres. They visited Konserthuset for a highly acclaimed concert in 2014 and also performed at Fotografiska. All in line with the ensemble's desire to break away from the traditional and familiar.During their eagerly awaited return to Konserthuset, the programme ranges from British Baroque to French Betsy Jolas's third string quartet from 1973, which, in nine parts, explores the mysterious universe of music. A completely different character is found in Mozart's String Quartet in C Major, often called the Dissonant Quartet due to its long and striking introduction, which today we do not find particularly dissonant.After Arvo Pärt's meditative Solfeggio, Brooklyn Rider concludes with Brahms's wonderful first string quartet with its remarkable coherence. The opening and closing movements are characterized by a delightful and fervent temperament, with tender and luminous music in between.
Växjö-based Musica Vitae joins us accompanied by the British violinist and conductor Hugo Ticciati, who is active in Sweden. He founded the O/Modernt festival in 2011, known for its innovative and cross-genre programming, which also characterizes his concert with Musica Vitae.The first part of the concert presents music infused with religious reverie. We hear the mysticism of Hildegard of Bingen in Vos flores rosarum and wordless violin song in Arvo Pärt's Fratres. Additionally, two meditations on the theme of the suffering mother: John Tavener's Mother of God, Here I Stand from The Veil of the Temple, and Lera Auerbach's Sogno di Stabat Mater (Dream of Stabat Mater). After the interval, the mood shifts from spiritual contemplation to exalted rapture. In the enigmatically dancing Aksak and Ciphers, Swedish composer Albert Schnelzer has encoded both Brahms and family members in the score. This is followed by a musical dialogue between Philip Glass's baroque-inspired Symphony No. 3 and three arrangements of songs from the iconic grunge rock band Nirvana's album Nevermind. Bridging the gap between the baroque and contemporary rock music is Purcell’s Cold Song from his semi-opera The Fairy-Queen.
"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" is Japan's oldest romantic tale, dating back to 900 AD. A bamboo cutter finds and raises a moon-sent child, Kaguya. Despite attracting suitors, Kaguya is a moon princess and must return. Choreographer Martin Chaix explores this legend in "The Moon Princess," portraying themes of family, belonging, and obligation.
"Die Geschichte des Bambussammlers oder der Prinzessin Kaguya" ist die älteste märchenhaft-romantische Erzählung Japans und geht auf das Jahr 900 zurück. Bei seiner Arbeit entdeckt ein kinderloser Bambussammler ein Findelkind, das er gemeinsam mit seiner Frau wie sein eigenes Kind großzieht. Das strahlend schöne Kind ist als Geschenk des Mondes auf die Erde geschickt worden, und auch wenn ihre Schönheit mächtige Männer als Brautbewerber auf den Plan ruft: Kaguya ist die Prinzessin des Mondes und muss dorthin zurückkehren. Der französische Choreograph Martin Chaix ist kein Unbekannter in Leipzig. Von 2006 bis 2009 war er als Solist am Leipziger Ballett unter Paul Chalmer engagiert. Seit 2015 arbeitet er als freischaffender Choreograph für internationale renommierte Ensembles wie das Ballet de l'Ope?ra national du Rhin, das Ballet de l'Ope?ra national de Paris oder das Ballett am Rhein, Düsseldorf. Seine präzise, emotionale und hochmusikalische Bewegungssprache lebt von einer tiefen Menschlichkeit. Für "Die Mondprinzessin" erkundet Martin Chaix den Reichtum der japanischen Legende und erzählt eine Geschichte von Familie und Heimat, von Zugehörigkeit und Verpflichtungen in einer herausfordernden Welt.

For over forty years, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, founded by Tönu Kaljuste, has been the preferred interpreter of Northern European choral music, especially that of its compatriot Arvo Pärt, which it has helped to spread around the globe.
