Schumann and Hindemith
Violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann has graced the Berwaldhallen stage several times, and is always a welcome returnee. This time, he gives us chamber music by Paul Hindemith, and Schumann’s Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Known 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim requested a solo piece by Schumann – he felt that violinists needed more opportunities to show their skills. The composer’s response was the critically acclaimed Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra. Hindemith’s Chamber Music No. 4, with the subtitle Violin Concerto, is indeed, in all the ways that matter, a solo concerto that can flourish in Zimmermann’s safe hands. There is even more Schumann when the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Daniel Harding perform his splendid revised version of Symphony No. 4 from 1851.

22 augusti180 krWho 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.Read more & tickets
