The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Fredrik Burstedt leads this festive occasion with a spirited, playful concert. We will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of Hugo Alfvén’s birth by performing his exuberant Festspel, known from the Nobel Prize ceremony, and the charming Symphony No. 2. Lisa Streich’s humorous concerto grosso Jubelhemd will be performed for the first time at Berwaldhallen.

John Fernström was not only a composer, violinist, teacher and conductor, he was also a painter, poet and author. He composed a vast number of, for example, operas, symphonies, solo concertos and chamber music. His Wind Quintet from 1943 is considered his most important work. Leoš Janáček wrote his playful, virtuoso Wind Sextet only twenty years earlier, at the end of his life. He called it Mládí, which means “youth” in Czech.
