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.

    Who 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.
