he Seven Wonders of the World. What are they? Where are they? Ayla Kabaca will be our guide as we fly to the seven wonders of the modern world with the help of music, together with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, led by flight captain Cathrine Winnes. We will take off to Klas Backman’s musical description of an airplane whose whirring engines pick up speed and finally lift off from the ground.
This family concert will take us to the Colosseum in Rome; Machu Picchu in Peru; the Great Wall of China; the Taj Mahal in Agra, India and the desert heat of Petra. This long-range trip is accompanied by music that suits each destination: Death of Tybalt from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev (Colosseum in Rome); Hindu Dance from the Aladdin Suite by Carl Nielsen (Taj Mahal, India); El Condor Pasa (Machu Pichu); and the Chinese folk song Moon Shadow on the Spring (Great Wall of China), to name just a few.
