In recent years, clarinettist and conductor Martin Fröst has carried out a number of celebrated projects with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. With the performances Dollhouse, Genesis and Retrotopia (all three of which can be seen on Konserthuset Play), he expanded the concept of what a concert can be.

The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir also participates in his new performance, Xodus (The Way Out Lies Within). We can expect something of a mixed-media piece. Jesper Waldersten created the script in collaboration with Martin Fröst.

Participants

– Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra
– Martin Fröst, conductor & clarinet soloist
– Eric Ericson Chamber Choir
– Jesper Waldersten, artist
– Linus Fellbom, lighting design

Haydn’s second large-scale oratorio (first performed in 1801) is based on a long Georgic poem by the eighteenth-century Scottish poet, James Thomson. Haydn’s virtuosic interpretation, which is suffused with the enlightened natural philosophy of the times, is a marvellously varied and painterly piece that the composer himself described as nothing less than ‘outstanding’.

Participants
– Hugo Ticciati, conductor
– Mari Eriksmoen, soprano

The jubilee concert sums up 20 years of Baltic Sea Festivals and everything they have meant to the region. Co-founder and conductor laureate of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Esa-Pekka Salonen, leads the orchestra, the Swedish Radio Choir and Eric Ericson Chamber Choir in a magnificent concert in which Mahler’s second symphony takes the audience on a journey, from the opening funeral march to the optimistic finale. The pre-concert talk will be focusing on the festival’s past and future, and what we can do to save the sea that unites us.
