SHOSTAKOVICH’S FIFTH
The American conductor Marin Alsop will be guesting at Berwaldhallen again, treating us to music with a literary inspiration together with the Swedish Radio Choir and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Samuel Barber’s beautiful Essay for Orchestra No. 2 will be followed by Leonard Bernstein’s choral work Chichester Psalms with its rhythmically intricate vocal parts. We will also hear Dmitri Shostakovich’s highly personal Symphony No. 5, the finale of which is inspired by Alexander Pushkin’s poem Vozrozhdenie (Rebirth).

Regarding Chromecast via iPhone
You can use Chromecast for the broadcasts on Berwaldhallen Play from computers and Android phones, but not if you play the concert from Apple’s iPhone. This is due to built-in limitations in the iPhone. If you want to see our concerts on a TV and have an iPhone, Apple’s own transfer technology (AirPlay) via an Apple TV works well.
