Sung poetry
German Romantic music with the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir performing works by Schubert, Brahms and more.
The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir was founded in 1945 by the then 27-year-old Eric Ericson, and has since then occupied a central place in Swedish and international music life. The choir ranks among the absolute top tier of professional ensembles internationally, and since 2003, the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir has had a close collaboration with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at Konserthuset.
The choir's repertoire is very broad and spans from the Renaissance to the present day. In this concert, the choir has chosen to focus on the great German-speaking Romantic composers such as Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, and Johannes Brahms, but also the lesser-known Peter Cornelius.
The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir is led by guest conductor Justin Doyle, chief conductor of the prestigious RIAS Kammerchor in Berlin, where he also works as a professor of choral conducting at the Hanns Eisler School of Music.
