Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony

Principal Guest Conductor Designate Maxim Emelyanychev leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter”, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s last symphony. The designation Jupiter was added after the composer’s death and is believed to originate from the eponymous Roman god, whose bolts of lightning you can hear in the opening chords of the first movement. Acclaimed French-German cellist Nicolas Altstaedt makes a long-awaited return to Berwaldhallen with Grażyna Bacewicz’s second cello concerto, in this program that starts with Sergei Prokofiev’s imaginative symphonic suite The Love for Three Oranges.
