In Monday at Last, violinist Cecilia Zilliacus and cellist Kati Raitinen invite artists to perform both newer and older music. But this Monday, it's not guest musicians who take over the stage of the Grünewald Hall – it's dancers!
Nadja Sellrup is a principal dancer with the Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm, while Oscar Salomonsson has previously held a similar position. Both have performed in a range of acclaimed and widely discussed productions at the Royal Swedish Opera. They have also enjoyed distinguished international careers.
Now we get to experience them in Connection–Band–Saraband with choreography by Pär Isberg, inspired by Ingmar Bergman's film Saraband, which focuses on relationships. The music comes from Bach's cello suites, which were important to Bergman.
This exciting Monday at Last concert also features music by Sibelius, Lera Auerbach, and Erwin Schulhoff, as well as Jonas S Bohlin's To Cecilia for solo violin and choreography, written in 2023 for the Katrina Festival in Åland, where Cecilia Zilliacus is the artistic director.
