Kulturnatt Stockholm – Wind Quintet

Meet top-level young musicians in an intimate concert where both audience and performers share the stage of the Main Hall at Konserthuset Stockholm. With the lights dimmed, this atmospheric event offers a close-up experience of live classical music – either seated on stage (subject to availability) or in the stalls. To be this close to the music is truly special!

The musicians are students of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s International Orchestra Academy – an advanced, international training programme for exceptionally gifted young musicians. Under the guidance of Royal Stockholm Philharmonic section leaders and the School of Music in Piteå, the students receive intensive training in orchestral, chamber and individual performance.

They also present themselves in a series of public chamber concerts – like this one, featuring music by the Czech composer Antonín Dvorák. The programme includes his String Quartet No. 12, performed here in an arrangement for wind quintet. This work is often referred to as “The American”, as it was composed during a summer break from his post at the National Conservatory in New York. Dvorák spent the holiday in the town of Spillville, Iowa, home to a large Czech community.
