When Svensk Musikv\u00e5r \u2013 the annual festival for contemporary art music \u2013 returns to Storkyrkan, it does so with a concert where the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet meets the organ in three entirely new works. The compositions, commissioned by the festival with support from the Swedish Arts Council and the Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation, explore themes of time, the psyche, and the depths of existence.<\/p>\n
Zacharias Ehnvall\u2019s Window of Tolerance<\/em> unfolds like an audible wave across the mind \u2013 a resonant reflection on the passage of time and the expanses of perception. Paula af Malmborg Ward\u2019s Timestuck<\/em> is a musical dialogue between organ and saxophones, a fascinating journey through the paradoxes of time and human consciousness. David Riebe\u2019s Vertigo<\/em> draws us into the sensation of dizziness and liminality \u2013 where sweet and chaotic sonic landscapes meet in the organ\u2019s powerful resonance filling the church space. The saxophonists move freely around the room, creating a sound that seems to emanate from everywhere and nowhere at once.<\/p>\n This concert, in one of Stockholm\u2019s most historic churches, becomes a meeting place where contemporary Swedish music reveals its vibrant breadth and distinctive voice. Welcome to experience new sounds and profound expressions at Svensk Musikv\u00e5r\u2019s festival 2025.<\/p>\n Stockholms saxofonkvartett from the programme Age limit: 6 years and older<\/strong><\/p>\n Free admission<\/strong><\/p>\n Please note that large bags, backpacks, suitcases, and strollers are not allowed in the church!<\/strong><\/p>\n Storkyrkan \u2013 Stockholm Cathedral is situated in Old Town just beside the Royal Castle.
