Season 2026/2027
During the 2026/2027 season, we explore the theme Roots and origins – the connection between music and human history, origins, and our bond with nature.
The 2026/2027 season sees the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Choir joined by guest conductors and soloists in music spanning several centuries, up to the present day. The orchestra’s new Chief Conductor, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, leads them in several concerts. The Swedish soprano Malin Byström is Artist in Residence, and the theme “Roots and origins” runs as a unifying thread throughout the season.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s concert season opens in grand style with Principal Guest Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev and the world-renowned soprano Nina Stemme. Throughout the season, a string of international star soloists appears, including soprano Barbara Hannigan and violinists Leonidas Kavakos and Alina Ibragimova. P2’s Classical Artist, violist Ami-Louise Johnsson, also features in several concerts.
The Swedish Radio Choir presents an extensive season programme featuring works by Ørjan Matre, B. Tommy Andersson’s Passio Secundum Matthaeum, and James MacMillan’s Ordo Virtutum. During the season, the choir is led by its Principal Guest Conductor Krista Audere, as well as former Chief Conductor Peter Dijkstra, Zoltán Pad, and chorus master Marc Korovitch.

World premieres and commissioned works
The season’s world premieres and commissioned works include Karen Tanaka’s trumpet concerto, written for Håkan Hardenberger, Mark-Anthony Turnage’s suite from Festen (co-commissioned with Malmö Live), and a new orchestral work by Matthew Peterson. To mark composer Britta Byström’s 50th birthday, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra has commissioned the work A Walk to Sibelius.
Artistic collaborations and productions for children
To mark Nils Landgren’s 70th anniversary, he returns in concerts with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in a programme that will also be performed on a tour to Germany in August, featuring the Swedish Radio Choir as well.
A number of cross-genre artistic collaborations will be presented throughout the spring, along with several exciting productions for children.
