Music has always played a major part in Nobel Prize celebrations and today the Nobel Prize Concert follows in this great tradition.
The classical music concert features internationally-renowned musicians and conductors, and is held annually to honour the year’s Nobel Prize laureates. It is attended by members of the Swedish Royal family, Nobel Prize laureates and guests, and today has become a highlight of the Nobel Prize calendar.
Swedish soprano Malin Byström and the conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Petr Popelka, will perform at this year’s Nobel Prize Concert at Konserthuset Stockholm. The programme includes the final scene from the Richard Strauss opera Salome and will be performed together with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
