This concert has been canceled - The Composer is Dead

Inventive composer Nathaniel Stookey’s The Composer Is Dead was written as a musical murder mystery for children and has become one of the 21st century’s most played orchestral works. This is its Swedish premiere, with Niklas Riesbeck as narrator. In his exuberant Symphony No. 1, a 25-year-old Sergei Prokofiev combined a modern, 20th century tonality with a classical style in a work lasting around fifteen minutes. The critically acclaimed conductor Christian Reif leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra for the first time.
