The sea has been an important source of inspiration for composers throughout the ages. In his impressionist masterpiece La mer, Debussy portrays his personal memories of the sea, which in adulthood he still preferred to experience through art and literature.  

The sea is also noticeably present in Britten's Four Sea Interludes - which are included in the opera Peter Grimes. The plot revolves around a lonely fisherman on the British east coast who is persecuted by the locals after two of his apprentices die under mysterious circumstances.

Daniel Börtz is undoubtedly one of Sweden's most central composers. His mighty Sinfonia 13 which premiered here at the Concert Hall in 2019 was praised by critics for its hypnotic power and soulful beauty. For Börtz, "the blue house by Hötorget" is something of a second home. When he turns 80 this year, one of the big highlights is the premiere of his Sinfonia 15, dedicated to the musicians of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Royal Philharmonic is led by the American conductor Ryan Bancroft, who from this season is the Royal Philharmonic's chief conductor.

English

Havet har genom tiderna varit en betydelsefull inspirationskälla för tonsättare. I sitt impressionistiska mästerverk La mer gestaltar Debussy sina personliga minnen av havet, som han i vuxen ålder ändå föredrog att uppleva genom konst och litteratur.  

Havet är också påtagligt närvarande i Brittens Four Sea Interludes – Fyra havsmellanspel – som ingår i operan Peter Grimes. Handlingen kretsar kring en ensam fiskare på den brittiska östkusten som förföljs av ortsbefolkningen efter att två av hans lärlingar dött under mystiska omständigheter.

Daniel Börtz är utan tvekan en av Sveriges mest centrala tonsättare. Hans mäktiga Sinfonia 13 som uruppfördes här i Konserthuset 2019 hyllades av kritiker för sin hypnotiska kraft och innerliga skönhet. För Börtz är ”det blå huset vid Hötorget” något av ett andra hem. När han i år fyller 80 år är en av de stora höjdpunkterna uruppförandet av hans Sinfonia 15, tillägnad musikerna i Kungliga Filharmonikerna.

Kungliga Filharmonikerna leds av den amerikanske dirigenten Ryan Bancroft som från denna säsong är Kungliga Filharmonikernas chefdirigent.
