  Full of inspiration, Robert Schumann began work on his second symphony in early December 1845. However, his depressions, poor health, and constant tinnitus meant that it wasn't until the following autumn that the symphony was completed. Yet, his severe personal condition has not left its mark on the music at all; instead, the symphony is bright and forward-looking, a resounding triumph over the darker aspects of life.

  The concert begins with the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's hypnotically evocative Ciel d’hiver, Winter Sky – an arrangement of a part of her orchestral work Orion. The music is inspired by the Greek myth of the hunter Orion, who was transformed into a constellation. Saariaho's music possesses a strange beauty that makes her unique, and she is considered one of the most significant composers of our time. Saariaho passed away in 2023, and ten years earlier, she was awarded the Polar Music Prize.

  A Finnish program featuring the young Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving. She was named Newcomer of the Year by the Finnish critics in 2021, the same year she made her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. She has studied with Sakari Oramo, the Conductor Laurate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and former chief conductor.

  Finnish-Swedish composer Ida Moberg – ”Finland's first female symphonist” – has only recently begun to receive recognition. She studied composition with her contemporary Sibelius and composed over 100 works. Her music is influenced by both spiritual and anthroposophical interests, and the orchestral suite Soluppgång (Sunrise) is not only inspired by nature but also a contemplation of human existence. The first movement of the suite was premiered by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in 2022.

  Sibelius's first two symphonies are often described as national-romantic, but Symphony No. 3 from 1907 represents something entirely different. The music partly reverts to older musical forms and characteristics, but the third and final movement still breaks away from simple descriptions with its enigmatically shifting moods.
