This year’s church music festival in the Diocese of Stockholm — Jubilate — highlights contemporary Norwegian church music by some of the country’s most significant composers — Petra Bjørkhaug, Knut Nystedt, Torbjørn Dyrud, and Kim André Arnesen — performed by the St. Matthew Chamber Choir, Adolf Fredrik Church Chamber Choir, and Gustavsberg Vocal Ensemble.
Listen to Carl Unander-Scharin’s and Mattias Wager’s interpretation of Winterreise — Schubert’s twenty-four remarkable, sorrowful, and multifaceted songs, in which the singer gives voice to a solitary wanderer in a barren winter landscape that mirrors his vulnerability — alone, abandoned, and lost. The piano part comments on and supports the emotional states and atmospheres.
Johan Hammarström offers music by Buxtehude, Böhm, Scheidt och Bruhns on the church’s world-renowned Marcussen organ.
Evensong is a meditative and calming evening service in which music and song create an atmosphere of stillness and reflection. In Storkyrkan this Sunday, the evensong is led by Sofia Ågren and performed by the Stockholm Music High School Chamber Choir.
The biblical concept of love and the Greek distinctions between Eros, Agape, and Philia form the starting point as S:t Jacob’s Chamber Choir performs under guest conductor Cecilia Martin-Löf.
We are delighted to resume an audience favourite – the concert series Night Music in Storkyrkan! Step into the softly dimmed cathedral, illuminated by candlelight. With musical and spatial improvisation at its heart, Mattias Wager and guest musicians explore the moods of night and evening.
Mattias Wager offers music by Liszt, Schumann och Reubke on the church’s world-renowned Marcussen organ.
The text of the Stabat Mater was written in the early 14th century and describes Mary’s suffering during the crucifixion of Jesus. We meet several singers from the School of Music and Opera at Mälardalen University in a programme built around this hymn. Music by Pergolesi, Boccherini, Berkeley, and others.
