29 September 2024 Stockholm (Sweden)
Metropolis – Romance and the City
Filialen Orchestra conducted by Andreas Hanson - Stockholm Konserthuset
Program Info: Christopher Wollter compère and vocals Filialen Orchestra Andreas Hanson conductor Nils Hansson Meng piano Stockholm Pop Choir Swedish Central Band
In this concert, Orkestern Filialen and friends celebrate the big city. The music portrays metropolitan places and their many contradictions, because indeed, cities have it all: noise and traffic, but also parks and quiet streets. Above all, they have people. The repertoire reflects these contrasts and diversity with a captivating mix of works all linked by one common factor: romance.
We embark on a journey through space and time, from a dystopian sci-fi depiction from 1927 of an imagined Manhattan in 2026, via Rome’s magnificent umbrella pine trees, to a couple in the midst of war-torn Warsaw. We follow Konserthuset’s statue of Orpheus on an adventure in Stockholm, and also visit New York and Paris before finally landing on the streets of London.
The guide on this musical tour is Christopher Wollter. Andreas Hanson conducts and Nils Hansson Meng is the piano soloist.
