Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Nina Stemme

Nina Stemme is one of Sweden’s most internationally acclaimed stars of opera. She was awarded the world’s largest prize in music, the Birgit Nilsson Prize, and has been celebrated on stages such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, Vienna State Opera and La Scala in Milan. Hear her in Mahler’s moving Kindertotenlieder. This guest performance by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is led by chief conductor Ryan Bancroft.

Sweden’s Andrea Tarrodi is also internationally acclaimed for her beautiful music that shifts in colour and tone. Her piece Liguria is inspired by the idyllic fishing villages on the Ligurian Sea, off the northwest coast of Italy.

This concert is crowned with Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony, a magical and humble-sounding masterpiece whose “fate motif” recurs in all four movements.
