Welcome to a dance-infused after-work concert with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the award-winning cellist Hugo Svedberg.
Just one hour of music – yet a concert brimming with energy and musical variety. That’s what this one-off after-work concert has to offer. Fredrik Burstedt conducts the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and we meet the young cellist Hugo Svedberg as soloist – winner of the prestigious Polstjärnepriset in 2024. Konserthuset CEO Susanne Rydén is your host.
Hugo Svedberg performs a true classic: Joseph Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major – a masterpiece that vanished for nearly two centuries before being rediscovered in the mid-20th century.
The rest of the programme – with the exception of Maurice Ravel’s beautifully evocative Pavane pour une infante défunte – is all about dance. The concert opens with fiery vitality in Malambo by Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, followed by Colonial Dance by Florence Price – music that blends European and African American traditions (in the 1930s, Price became the first African American woman to have an orchestral work performed by a major American orchestra). The concert concludes with a symphonic schottis (!) by Karl-Johan Ankarblom.
