God in disguise

Ethel Smyth’s vivacious, rhythmic overture to The Boatswain’s Mate is followed by Carl Reinecke’s melodic flute concert with solo flute parts played by Laura Michelin, winner of the 2020 Soloist Award. God in Disguise by Lars-Erik Larsson is one of our most beloved choral works. Hannes Meidal recites Hjalmar Gullberg’s words on humanity and peace, first performed right in the middle of the Second World War. To conclude, we greet the arrival of summer with Hugo Alfvén’s Spring Song and the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Summer Night.

    Who 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.
