A Requiem in Our Time
A Requiem in Our Time is a gripping requiem written in memory of the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s mother. The piece became the composer’s breakthrough in 1954. Loss is the subject also of Edvard Grieg’s Sörgemarsj over Rikard Nordraak – an elegy to Grieg’s close friend and colleague, the composer Rikard Nordraak, who died when he was only 24 years old. Here we will hear the version for brass, arranged by Geoffrey Emerson in 1970. The concert was recorded in the Berwaldhallen Hall, 26th of February 2021.

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
