Chamber Music Concerts

King George III. appears in P.M. Davies' Eight Songs for a Mad King and the exclusive work Farmer George by O.T. Räihälä and T. Florio in two extremes: as a monarch marked by madness and as the humble "Farmer George." A captivating double portrait of power and madness.

The horn, known for its warm and distinctive sound, plays a central role in Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. In this portrait concert, the horn players of the Vienna Symphony present a diverse program featuring both classics and lesser-known works.

The Symphonic Schrammel Quintet Vienna takes you on a journey to Vienna around 1900. Dances, waltzes, and polkas—played on violins, clarinet, button accordion, and contraguitar—bring the magic of traditional Viennese folk music to life.

The Norwegian soprano Hedvig Haugerud captivates with powerful song interpretations of Grieg, Sibelius, and Nystroem. Together with pianist Mats Knutsson, she transports the audience into a soundscape that reflects the rugged beauty of the North.

Ida Elina transforms the kantele, the traditional Finnish string instrument, into a one-person orchestra. Together with jazz saxophonist Jukka Perko, she creates a unique sound journey where Nordic tones meet electronic elements.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's String Quartet in A minor and Maurice Ravel's String Quartet in F major reflect the young composers' engagement with their influences, while already showcasing their own distinctive musical language.

Sophie Heinrich and Maria Radutu combine music and storytelling. In All About Eve, they give composers such as the Boulanger sisters, Florence Beatrice Price, and Lera Auerbach a stage, bringing their stories and music to life.
