Matre’s Orphic Songs with the Swedish Radio Choir

In the powerful acoustics of Storkyrkan, the Swedish Radio Choir and Alexander Lüken let Ørjan Matre’s Orphic Songs form a ritual arc through the concert. Matre’s Orphic hymns are woven together with Ingvar Lidholm’s expressive Canto LXXXI , Britta Byström’s shimmering To måner, Laura Marconi’s Vorrei and Richard Strauss’ atmospheric Der Abend. Here, ancient myth, Nordic and contemporary choral sound, and existential contemplation meet in a programme where the voice moves between fragile stillness, darkness and light.

    Who will save Alfie Atkins?

    Alfie sits alone in the apartment where he lives and feels lonely. He has moved to a new place and doesn’t know any of the other children there. Sometimes his imaginary friend Malcolm appears, and when they play together, Alfons always gets to decide — like being the train driver when they play trains. The problem is that Mållgan never shows up when he is really needed, like when the “big boys” chase Alfons and spray his jacket with water pistols. A performance about friendship, based on Alfie Atkins, the beloved children’s book character created by Gunilla Bergström.
