New friday with string quartet and didgeridoo

Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 20:30
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
Björn Bohlin (Didgeridoo), Björn Bohlin (Oboe d’amore), Catherina Lee (Violin), Miriam Helms Ålien (Violin), Vicki Powell (Viola), Kristina Winiarski (Cello)
For the first time in Konserthuset, we get to hear music composed for the ancient Australian wind instrument, the didgeridoo. Both in a newly written piece for strings, didgeridoo, and oboe d'amore by Loke Risberg, and in the intensely vibrant sixteenth string quartet by Australian Peter Sculthorpe, where the instrument complements the four strings. Playing the didgeridoo, we have Björn Bohlin, a multi-instrumentalist who previously played English horn in the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.Gabriella Smith's Carrot Revolution is a tribute to the ability to find new ways to approach older artistic forms and expressions. "The piece is a patchwork of my very contrasting influences," she says.The concert begins with Ghiribizzi for violin and cello by the Moldovan-Austrian composer and violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. On her series of curiously explorative "ghiribizzi," she says: "It's not a tribute to Paganini, but I borrowed the title from his peculiar pieces for violin and guitar." Ghiribizz roughly translates to whims, quirks."***New Friday is the series for anyone who is curious and interested in exploring the new music of our era. Come early, stay late – the bar will be open before and after the concert with drinks and appetizers.

Soup with piano quartet

Fri, May 2, 2025, 12:15
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
Lola Torrente (Violin), Vicki Powell (Viola), Erik Uusijärvi (Cello), Anna Christensson (Piano)
Two piano quartets – one modern and one romantic classic. They are, of course, very different in style, but the intensity and melancholic expressions unite these two works. The music is performed by three string musicians from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra together with pianist Anna Christensson.British composer Charlotte Bray (born 1982) composed the piano quartet Replay in 2011. In ten minutes, she creates a world that begins in a sort of lament, then escalates in intensity before the music thins out and slowly dies away, as if from exhaustion.Johannes Brahms' third piano quartet in C minor is one of the finest works in the genre – a masterpiece that many consider to be his most personal and autobiographical music. Embedded in the notes are both his anguish for his sick friend Robert Schumann and his forbidden feelings for Schumann's wife, Clara Schumann. Brahms believed that the both powerful and contemplative music should be illustrated with a photo of himself and a pistol aimed at his head.***Menu: Asparagus soup with sunflower seeds. The soup is served with sourdough bread, crispbread, butter, mineral water/light beer, coffee/tea, and a chocolate piece. Wine and beer available for purchase for those who wish.All soups are lactose- and gluten-free. Please inform us of any dietary requirements when booking.

Mozart and Andrée

Sun, May 18, 2025, 15:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
Joakim Svenheden (Violin), Daniela Bonfiglioli (Violin), Vicki Powell (Viola), Nicholas Shardlow (Viola), Marie Macleod (Cello), Martin Sturfält (Piano)
Elfrida Andrée was an organist, conductor, and composer, pioneering the way for future generations of women in music. She was a student of Ludvig Norman and Niels W. Gade, and her romantically shimmering piano quartet in the spirit of Schumann and Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was premiered in 1870 at Gade's home in Copenhagen.During his time, Mozart was also a pioneer. The influential Cramer's music magazine wrote that he had ”a decided inclination towards the difficult and the unusual”. That's not how we perceive Mozart today. The captivatingly beautiful and imaginative String Quintet in C major is an undisputed masterpiece. Mozart seemingly composed it on his own initiative, without any commission and solely out of pure expressive will. Initially, we hear Rolf Martinsson's thoughtful and exploratory Duo for violin and cello from 1986.We hear a quintet from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra together with guesting pianist Martin Sturfält.
