Kammarkonsert Med Orkesterakademin by Saariaho, Eriksson, A., Röntgen, Mozart, De (2023/2023), Konserthuset (Stockholm Concert Hall), Stockholm, Sweden

Since 2016, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (RSPO) offers one year of training on site at Konserthuset Stockholm. The RSPO Orchestra Academy aims to give participating musicians heightened knowledge and understanding of the profession. The young musicians receive individual tuition on their instrument by tutors that are predominantly leaders and principals of the orchestra. In addition, extensive chamber music playing is a vital part of the course. In this programme we hear music by Finnish Kaija Saariaho – one of the great composers of our time who passed away this summer at 70, and by Julius Röntgen (1855–1932) – Dutch composer who by the way was the husband of Swedish composer Amanda Maier Röntgen. The programme also includes music by the academist and double bassist Adrian Eriksson and the main act: Mozart’s populär clarinet quintet.
