Blue Hour
A musical gathering in the Golden Foyer
Come and experience the musical breadth of the Royal Swedish Orchestra in a new setting. On Saturday evenings, once the matinee audience has gone home, music will be performed in the Golden Foyer. Come on in, have a drink at the bar, and listen as some of our musicians play their personal favourites off-stage.
Blue Hour — get up close to the Royal Swedish Orchestra
As the Blue Hour project is characterised by spontaneity, the programme and the participating musicians are usually finalised shortly before the performance. Keep an eye on our website!
Previous Blue Hour concerts have featured programmes such as Fantasy Quintet with works by Mozart and York Bowen, Piazzolla – Tango Sensations with six musicians, Viola Evening including the world première of a work composed by the orchestra's "own" Torbjörn Helander, and Sinatra Evening with Jens Persson Hertzman as vocal soloist. The Blue Hour project began in spring 2022, and has proved hugely popular with musicians and audiences alike.
Various members of the Royal Swedish Orchestra participate - sometimes with guests.
