Baltic Sea Festival 2025

This Week’s Concert on Berwaldhallen Play – All Through July

While we await the Baltic Sea Festival, we revisit unforgettable concert experiences from the Swedish Radio Concert Hall. A new concert will be released each week throughout July – perfect for slow summer days, wherever they find you.

First up is Maria João Pires, Harding & Mozart, recorded at Berwaldhallen in February 2021.

Mirrors & Reflections

This season's concerts are woven together with threads of light, longing, darkness, despair, nostalgia, and hope. Through each performance, the musical heritage of the past is reflected in contemporary interpretations, while we constantly move towards an always unknown future. The theme creates a tapestry of emotions and thoughts – where music serves as a mirror for the innermost feelings and dreams of humanity.

Artists in Residence: Salonen & Jansen

Two frequent guests this season will be conductor, composer, and Polar Prize winner Esa-Pekka Salonen and star violinist Janine Jansen as this season's 'Artists in Residence'. Highlights include Prokofiev's and Brahms' violin concertos with Janine Jansen as soloist, and György Ligeti's monumental Requiem, a work commissioned by Swedish Radio in 1965 and now celebrating its 60th anniversary, with Esa-Pekka Salonen at the conductor's podium
