The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra is a multiple-award-winning ensemble renowned for its high artistic standard and stylistic breadth, as well as collaborations with the world’s finest composers, conductors, and soloists. It regularly tours all over Europe and the world and has an extensive and acclaimed recording catalogue.

Daniel Harding has been Music Director of the SRSO since 2007, and since 2019 also its Artistic Director. His tenure will last throughout the 2024/2025 season. Two of the orchestra’s former chief conductors, Herbert Blomstedt and Esa-Pekka Salonen, have since been named Conductors Laureate, and continue to perform regularly with the orchestra.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra performs at Berwaldhallen, concert hall of the Swedish Radio, and is a cornerstone of Swedish public service broadcasting. Its concerts are heard weekly on the Swedish classical radio P2 and regularly on national public television SVT. Several concerts are also streamed on-demand on Berwaldhallen Play and broadcast globally through the EBU.

From talented pupil to Jorma Panula, by way of assistant to Esa-Pekka Salonen, Finnish-Hungarian conductor Dalia Stasevska has achieved international renown as an acclaimed opera and concert conductor. She studied violin, viola and composition at the Tampere Conservatory and the Sibelius Academy, as well as conducting under Susanna Mälkki and Jukka-Pekka Saraste, among others. Her latest performance was Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at the Finnish National Opera and Lucia di Lammermoor by Donizetti at Den Norske Opera, and she has debuted with orchestras such as the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne and the BBC Symphony Orchestra of Wales. In 2009, Stasevska founded the Kamarikesä Festival in Helsinki to encourage other young musicians.

Flerfaldigt prisbelönade cellisten Amalie Stalheim har redan etablerat sig som en av Nordens främsta samtida musiker. Vid sidan av den klassiska cellorepertoaren har hon ett starkt engagemang för att beställa och framföra nyskriven konstmusik och har samarbetat med flera av dagens främsta tonsättare: Missy Mazzoli, Anders Hillborg, Britta Byström, Therese Ulvo, Jo David Meyer, Jostein Stalheim, med flera. Bara de senaste åren har hon uruppfört åtta solokonserter och dessutom spelat in flera av dem på skiva.

Hon gör regelbundna gästspel som solist hos de främsta nordiska orkestrarna, såsom Oslo-filharmonien, Kungliga Filharmonikerna, Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester, Islands symfoniorkester, Uleåborgs symfoniorkester och Bergens filharmoniker. Bland höjdpunkterna under säsongen 2023/24 kan nämnas konserter med symfoniorkestrarna på Island, i Ankara, i Malmö och Helsingborg, samt med Trondheimsolistene.

Amalie Stalheim var Klassiska artisten i P2 2018–2020 efter att hon vann Solistpriset 2018. 2021 vann hon även Norska solistpriset. Hon spelar på en F. Ruggieri 1687 generöst utlånad till henne av Anders Sveaas Almennyttige Fond.

Approximate concert length: 1 h 25 min (no intermission)
