Concert information

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ SSO’s short focus on Swedish composer Wilhelm Stenhammar continues with a rare performance of his exuberant Serenade for Orchestra, a work completed in 1913. With its strong Scandinavian flavour it shares many similarities with the music of Sibelius and Grieg. In the second half, members of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ SSO and Andrew Manze perform another rarity, Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen’s skilful transcription of Nielsen’s Sixth Symphony.

The concert will be broadcast live on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 3, presented by Tom Redmond.
