The memory of a God

The 2026/2027 season ends with a concert where memory, myth and masterpieces meet. Under the direction of Anja Bilhmaier, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra begins with Olly Wilson's Shango Memory – a pulsating and spiritual piece that honours the Yoruba thunder god Shango. Then, four of the orchestra's own horn soloists step forward in Schumann's jubilant concert piece for four horns, combining romantic warmth with impressive virtuosity. The concert ends with Brahms's Piano Quartet in G minor, but in Arnold Schönberg's colourful orchestration, lifting the chamber music intensity to symphonic heights. A musical journey where tradition, spirituality and orchestral strength interact.
