Byström and Bruckner
Sought-after conductor David Afkham is a guest at Berwaldhallen for the third time with Bruckner’s majestic Symphony No. 3, and the first performance of Britta Byström’s Double Concerto for Violin and Contrabass, Infinite Rooms.
This production is part of one or more concert series.

Anton Bruckner held Richard Wagner in the highest esteem, and when Wagner expressed his liking of Bruckner’s heroic and majestic Symphony No. 3, Bruckner dedicated it to Wagner. Britta Byström is a hero of the timbre, and in her music, she experiments with room reverberations and overtones. She describes her double concerto Infinite Rooms as a musical depiction of ‘mirrors mirrored in mirrors’. The concerto was commissioned by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s Concert Master Malin Broman and contrabass player Rick Stotijn, who will perform it for the first time, here at Berwaldhallen.
