The concert has been canceled - Sandström’s Trombone Concerto
It is not for nothing that Sven-David Sandström is called one of the greatest Swedish composers of our time. His newly written trombone concerto has been commissioned by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and written specially for the orchestra’s trombone virtuoso, Håkan Björkman. The magnificent opening to Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra was made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. What few people know however, is that the entire work continues just as powerfully and thought-provokingly as its opening “Sunrise”.
This production is part of one or more concert series.

22 augusti180 krWho 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.Read more & tickets
