Stockholm Strauss Orchestra

As tradition requires, the Stockholm Strauss Orchestra once again will perform the New Year’s concert at Berwaldhallen. Sweden’s most festive orchestra is conducted by Mika Eichenholz, who effortlessly swings the baton in familiar works by Johann and Eduard Strauss. Some new pieces are also promised in the repertoire. This year’s soloist is soprano Lydia Kjellberg, who will perform operetta songs with a warm and beautiful timbre. In stunning choreographies by Judith Simon, created especially for this year’s New Year’s concert, the dancers seem to defy gravity. The concert, perfect for the curious as well as those who wish to hear the well-known waltzes and polkas from the New Year’s concert in Vienna, will be presented by Marianne Eklöf, opera singer.
