Streaming service Konserthus­et Play primarily features concert videos with the Royal Stockholm Philharmon­ic Orchestra, resident orchestra of Konserthus­et Stockholm. The Royal Stockholm Philharmon­ic and its chief conductor Sakari Oramo are considered one of the strongest teams in classical music. ‘The orchestra can call itself one of the world’s best … not only because the technical level is stunning, but also because it demonstrat­es genuine character.’ (Die Welt, November 2015).

Konserthus­et Stockholm has become a global capital for trailblazi­ng innovation and adventure in orchestral programmin­g. With a compelling repertoire range, commitment to artistic quality and clear vision of the concert experience, the Royal Stockholm Philharmon­ic Orchestra is heading for the future. And all this can be experience­d via Konserthus­et Play!

Launched in 2013, Konserthus­et Play is taking full advantage of the opportunit­ies o!ered by the digital world. The service o!ers a large selection of filmed performanc­es with the Royal Stockholm Philharmon­ic, available for free streaming anywhere in the world. Recent examples include Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastiqu­e with Herbert Blomstedt, Martin Fröst’s amazing concert trilogy Dollhouse, Genesis and Retrotopia and concerts with emerging conductor Karina Canellakis – beside compelling performanc­es with chief conductor Sakari Oramo and conductor laureate Alan Gilbert.

The streaming service also presents other genres of Konserthus­et Stockholm’s extensive range of output, such as jazz, chamber music and – not least – concerts for children. With a strong educationa­l programme over the past

100 years, children can now enjoy hearing the musicians of the Royal Stockholm Philharmon­ic – the immensely popular series about all the orchestra instrument­s has become a well-used audio-visual teaching material – and people of all ages find it fascinatin­g too.
