Dvořák’s Sixth Symphony

Norwegian composer and music critic Pauline Hall was a prominent figure in the cultural life in Norway during the early part of the 20th. The orchestral piece Foire is a part of her impressionistic Verlain suite from 1929. For his opera Intermezzo Richard Strauss wrote his own libretto based on events from his marriage, the subject matter being a misunderstanding between him and his wife that almost led to divorce. The work’s stylish entr’acte has become especially popular. The concert will conclude with Antonín Dvořák’s airy and life-affirming sixth symphony. The young Czech musician Petr Popelka, principal conductor of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, will be at the helm of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
