Grieg’s Piano Concerto

Sat, Jan 25, 2025, 15:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano)
Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto is a classic among classics, constantly featured on concert programmes worldwide, and probably available in hundreds of recordings. Grieg was 25 when he composed the music, and the fact that it was his first work with an orchestra is astonishing. Taking on his compatriot's superhit is none other than Leif Ove Andsnes, one of the world's leading pianists.The concert opens with the exciting premiere of Rocking Bodies by Chrichan Larson. Rocking Bodies plays with the idea of resonant bodies moving in waves around a centre – sometimes repelled, sometimes drawn in. Larson is active as a composer and cellist, a prominent musician who has often been seen in the cello section of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.Concluding the concert, Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the orchestra in Wilhelm Stenhammar's exquisite Serenade. Stenhammar got the idea for the music during a stay in Florence in 1907. In one of his letters, he wrote: ”I want to compose as beautifully and tenderly about the South as only a Nordic person can.” He succeeded, for the Serenade is a masterpiece.Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Musik der Zeit – Fern vertraut

Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Arabella Steinbacher (Violin), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
Exceptional violinist Arabella Steinbacher inspired Luxembourgish composer Georges Lentz to create an ethereal violin concerto. Its sound expands through the Philharmonie like starlight under the Australian Outback sky, Lentz's composing location. Olga Neuwirth's "Masaot" delves into a river of memories and associations, music as both home and foreign land. Georges Aperghis' eighth Etude ignites a new celebration of orchestral virtuosity.

Mahler and Nielsen

Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Nina Stemme (Soprano)
The concert begins with Demon by the British-American composer Freya Waley-Cohen (born 1989) – a co-commissioned work by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra premiered in 2023 by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. She found inspiration in old folk tales from the British Isles, chilling stories where a demon can manifest anywhere - here as both menacing and playful orchestral music.Menacing indeed. Mahler's heartbreaking Kindertotenlieder – Songs on the Death of Children – has tragic points of connection with Mahler's own life, and the composition would also come to seem like a premonition: a few years later, Mahler's eldest daughter Maria died. The poems by Friedrich Rückert that Mahler chose deal with the parents' grieving process and the slow reconciliation with a painful reality. The world-renowned Nina Stemme is the soloist in this poignant music.Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's chief conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the orchestra in this program, which concludes with Carl Nielsen. Nielsen's Fourth Symphony is subtitled "Det uudslukkelige" (The Inextinguishable). It's dramatic music written in the midst of the First World War, famous in part for its duel between two timpanists.Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony

Wed, Mar 19, 2025, 18:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
Tchaikovsky composed his fifth symphony during a few summer months in 1888. He had complained of lacking inspiration in the spring: "Am I burned out? No ideas, no desire?" But the fifth became a vital, emotionally charged, and in many respects brilliant symphony. It premiered under the composer's direction at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in November of the same year.The concert begins with Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi's Liguria, music that takes us on a journey between five small fishing villages clinging to the cliffs along Italy's northwestern coast.Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Sibelius and Tchaikovsky

Thu, Mar 20, 2025, 18:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Maria Ioudenitch (Violin)
Sibelius's violin concerto is now the most performed of all violin concertos from the 20th century. Yet its musical language belongs to the late 19th century, and the music is warm and lyrical, dramatic and melancholic. Sibelius, himself a violinist, possibly wrote the concerto he himself would have wanted to play – albeit on a technical level far beyond his own. In this way, the violin concerto can be seen as a farewell to the youthful dreams of a career as a violin virtuoso. It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.Taking on the challenge is the young award-winning violinist Maria Ioudenitch. In 2021, she won first prize in the prestigious Ysaÿe International Music Competition and the same year also the Tibor Varga International Violin Competition. Maria Ioudenitch was born in Russia but moved to the USA with her family at the age of two.Tchaikovsky composed his fifth symphony during a few summer months in 1888. He had complained about a lack of inspiration in the spring: "Am I burned out? No ideas, no desire?" But the fifth became a vital, emotionally charged, and in many respects brilliant symphony.

Nina Stemme | Königliches Philharmonisches Orchester Stockholm | Ryan Bancroft

Mon, Mar 24, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Nina Stemme (Soprano), Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Ensemble), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
Die schwedische Mezzosopranistin Nina Stemme zählt seit drei Jahrzehnten zu den weltbesten Stimmen, nicht nur auf der Opernbühne. Die für ihre erfüllende Ausdruckstiefe und ihr balsamisches Melos gerühmte Sängerin ist auch im Liedfach und da speziell bei Gustav Mahler ein Erlebnis.Mit dem Königlichen Philharmonischen Orchester Stockholm, das seit 2023 von Ryan Bancroft geleitet wird, taucht Nina Stemme jetzt in die ergreifenden und ebenfalls empfindsamen Welten der »Kindertotenlieder« ein, die Mahler 1904, ein Jahr vor dem Verlust seines eigenen Kindes, schrieb. Zuvor spielt das Orchester von der schwedischen Komponistin Andrea Tarrodi eine zeitgenössische Hommage an Ligurien. Das Konzertfinale gehört dann Tschaikowskys von wilder Leidenschaft aufgeladene »Schicksalssinfonie« Nr. 5.

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.

Schumann's second symphony

Wed, May 7, 2025, 18:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
Full of inspiration, Robert Schumann began work on his second symphony in early December 1845. However, his depressions, poor health, and constant tinnitus meant that it wasn't until the following autumn that the symphony was completed. Yet, his severe personal condition has not left its mark on the music at all; instead, the symphony is bright and forward-looking, a resounding triumph over the darker aspects of life.The concert begins with the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's hypnotically evocative Ciel d’hiver, Winter Sky – an arrangement of a part of her orchestral work Orion. The music is inspired by the Greek myth of the hunter Orion, who was transformed into a constellation. Saariaho's music possesses a strange beauty that makes her unique, and she is considered one of the most significant composers of our time. Saariaho passed away in 2023, and ten years earlier, she was awarded the Polar Music Prize.Learn more about Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft

It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.Taking on the challenge is the Russian-born Israeli violinist Maxim Vengerov, one of the greats of our time, who has only performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra once before, and that was 30 years ago! He is ranked among the world's finest, and in addition to performing concerts on the major classical stages, he is a guest professor at both the International Menuhin Music Academy in Switzerland and the Royal College of Music in London.Full of inspiration, Robert Schumann began work on his second symphony in early December 1845.

Bancroft & Goosby

Sat, May 17, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin (Berlin)
Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Randall Goosby (Violin), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
Dmitri Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony from 1939 poses an exciting riddle, not least because the beginning and end are missing in this curious work. Instead, it begins with a long slow movement that revolves around its own axis like a giant, lonely planet in space. Followed by two very fast movements. This is how the composer himself imagined »spring, joy, youth«. It will most definitely be a splendid musical experience!

Also sprach Zarathustra

Thu, Jun 5, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Jean-Yves Thibaudet (Piano)
The Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian's music is familiar to many from the delightful Sabre Dance of the ballet Gayane, and the Adagio from the ballet Spartacus, from which the swooning theme music for the TV series The Onedin Line was borrowed. Khachaturian unquestionably wrote music that captivates listeners.Unfortunately, his other works have rarely been performed at Konserthuset. Here, it is Jean-Yves Thibaudet who takes on the vibrant and powerful piano concerto, with a beautifully flowing and dreamlike middle movement where the strings are accompanied by a flexatone (imagine playing on a saw!). The distinguished French pianist Thibaudet has been a champion of Khachaturian's music for many years.Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft then leads the orchestra in the classic Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss. This tone poem, with its powerful – not to mention iconic – opening, is inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical novel. It is well known, of course, that Strauss's music was used in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, but Stanley Kubrick actually also placed music from Khachaturian's ballet Gayane in the same film.The concert opens with the world premiere of a newly written work by the young Swedish composer Zacharias Wolfe (born 1996). Here begins a new collaboration with the Royal College of Music in Stockholm: each season a newly written work by a master's student will be performed. Wolfe's orchestral work Held by Threads is the first.Learn more about Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft
