Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande
Music Director Daniel Harding kicks off the 2024/2025 season, the last for Harding with the Swedish Symphony Orchestra, with the world premiere of Jesper Nordin’s Silhouettes and Shadows. As soloist in this visually striking and innovative saxophone concerto with inspirations from David Bowie, we’ll see saxophonist Valentine Michaud and transdisciplinary artist Emmanuel Michaud. Furthermore, music from Richard Wagner’s Parsifal and Claude Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande about religious wonder, love, and death.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Listen to Jesper Nordin talk about ‘Reactional music’ and the inspiration behind Silhouettes and Shadows:
