Ärade besökare,
välkommen till Östergötland, ett vackert län fullt av intressanta platser
att besöka. Östergötland är ett län med en rik och spännande historia,
som sträcker sig från den äldre stenåldern, genom en medeltid med
klosterepoken, Birger Jarls inflytande och en utveckling av världsledande
industriföretag ända från 1600-talet. Länet är också rikt ur ett kulturellt
perspektiv.
Den gamla staden Vadstena med klosterområdet och slottet, liksom de
smala gatorna och de låga husen, är en pärla och helt unik.
Det vackra landskapet, som sträcker sig från Östersjön till Vättern, är
inbjudande för besökare från hela världen. Vårt berömda universitet rankas
mycket högt av studenter och forskare, och är av största betydelse för hela
samhällets utveckling.
Östergötland har av kungafamiljen utnämnts till hertigdöme för
prinsessan Estelle. Det är vi mycket stolta över.
Ta gärna en promenad i det spännande Industrilandskapet, lyssna till
ljuden av vattnet i Motala ström och njut av Norrköpings Symfoniorkester.
Jag ser fram emot att träffa er på den internationella Stenhammarfestivalen 2014.
Elisabeth Nilsson
Landshövding i Östergötland
Dear visitors,
welcome to Östergötland, the beautiful county full of interesting sites to visit.
Östergötland is a county with a rich and exciting history, a county that encourage cultural activities of all kind.
The old small town Vadstena with the monastery church and the castle is a
treasure and unique because of it’s history and the character of the town.
The beautiful landscape, from the Baltic sea to lake Vättern is inviting for
tourists from all around the world. Our famous Linköping university is very
high ranked among students and scientists and of greatest importance for both
the business sector and the public sector.
We are very proud of being the dukedom of the newborn princess Estelle, the
daughter of crown princess Victoria and prince Daniel.
Take a walk in Industrilandskapet (Industrial Landscape) in Norrköping,
listen to the sound of Motala river, and enjoy the sound of the Norrköping
Symphony Orchestra.
I’m looking forward to meet you at the Wilhelm Stenhammar International
Music Competition 2014.

Det är en glädje för mig att välkomna den femte Wilhelm Stenhammar International Music Competition till
Norrköping. WSIMC har blivit en tradition och en väsentlig del i vårt musikliv, inte bara i Norrköping utan
även i Sverige. WSIMC bekräftar Norrköpings ställning som musikhuvudstaden i vår del av Sverige.
Tävlingen äger rum i vår vackra konsertsal, DeGeerhallen, som ligger mitt i det unika gamla industrilandskapet, där byggnaderna i dag fylls av kreativitet i form av konst, underhållning, forskning, universitetsundervisning och entreprenörskap – allt ett uttryck för den förändring som sker i vår moderna, dynamiska stad.
Ett varmt välkommen till de begåvade sångare som valts ut som tävlingsdeltagare, till alla övriga musiker, till
juryn, till pressen och till publiken.
Med tillönskan om en framgångsrik Wilhelm Stenhammar International Music Competition 2014.
Eva Andersson
Kommunfullmäktiges ordförande, Norrköping
I am delighted to welcome the fifth edition of the Wilhelm Stenhammar International Music Competition to Norrköping.
The WSIMC has become a tradition and an important part of musical life in our city, and indeed in Swedish musical life
as well. The WSIMC therefore reinforces Norrköping´s position as the musical capital in our part of Sweden.
The competition takes place in our beautiful concert hall, the DeGeer Hall, right in the middle of the unique old industrial
landscape, where the old factory buildings today are filled with creativity in the form of art, entertainment, scientific
research, university education and entrepreneurship – all an expression of the transformation going on in our modern,
dynamic city.
A warm welcome to the talented singers, who have been selected to participate in the competition, and to all the other
performers, to the jury, to the press and to the audience.
With the best wishes for a successful Willhelm Stenhammar International Music Competition 2014.
Eva Andersson
Mayor of Norrköping
Ibland ler lyckan mot oss människor! Jag har
haft glädjen att i åtskilliga år vara Landshövding i Östergötland, där en av juvelerna är
Norrköping! En anrik stad, med rötter långt
bak i den svenska historien. Härtill kommer
att jag fått förmånen, att sedan knappt två
år, vara ordförande i Wilhelm Stenhammars
Stiftelse och därmed komma nära en internationell musiktävling för klassisk musik. Saken
blir inte sämre av att jag på det viset ges tillfälle att arbeta nära en verklig entreprenör och
Min önskan är att den femte Stenhammartävlingen 2014 ska bli ett lika fantastiskt evenemang som alla tidigare tävlingar!
Många unga, begåvade och färdigutbildade sångare kan här få ”pröva sina vingar” och
överträffa sig själva, när de sjunger framför
en högt kvalificerad och internationell jury.
Då kan de också komma underfund med på
vilken nivå de själva befinner sig, jämfört med
de övriga sångarna som kommer från hela
världen. Efter flera års krävande studier får
sångarna också en chans att starta sina professionella karriärer.
Genom kontakter över gränserna får man
dela med sig av sin egen kultur, vilket är berikande för alla och ger värdefull utveckling.
Jag ser fram emot spännande dagar i sångens tecken och hoppas vi får en stor publik
under tävlingsdagarna!
Ett varmt tack vill jag rikta till alla som på
olika sätt stöder tävlingen – sponsorer, bidragsgivare och andra samarbetspartners som
hjälpt oss att bygga upp detta till ett internationellt musikcentrum i det sommarfagra
Sverige och Norrköping!
Varmt välkomna till tävlingen!
Sonja Stenhammar
Konstnärlig ledare för WSIMC
idéspruta i form av tävlingens konstnärliga
ledare och initiativtagare Sonja Stenhammar.
Genom vår tävling får vi förmånen att
öppna en dörr för många unga, begåvade och
färdigutbildade sångare. De får en plattform
att visa upp sig på och därmed också hjälp att
starta sina karriärer. Och publiken i Norrköping får dessutom chansen att njuta av högklassisk operamusik – i en stad känd för sin
nybyggaranda och nyfikenhet på kultur.
Att även världsorganisationen för internationella klassiska musiktävlingar anser
att Stenhammartävlingen, allt sedan starten
2006, genomförts på högsta konstnärliga nivå
och idag rankas som en av de bästa i värden
gör inte saken sämre!
Detta är femte gången vi tillsammans med
Norrköpings Symfoniorkester – en av Sveriges
mest spännande orkestrar – på detta sätt slår
upp portarna till De Geerhallen – enligt min
uppfattning Sveriges vackraste konsertsal!
Välkommen till spännande tävlingsdagar!
Björn Eriksson
Ordförande
Sometimes you can be very fortunate! I have, for
several years, had the pleasure to be County Governor of Östergötland, where one of the “jewels”
My wish is that the fifth Stenhammarcompetition in June 2014, will be such a fantastic event
as all the earlier competitions!
Young talented and educated singers, may
here “try their wings” and exceed themselves in
front of an international, professional jury. They
have also a opportunity to become aware of their
own level, compared to all the other singers in
the competition.
After several years of demanding studies,
these young singers get a chance to start their
professional career.
Through contacts across the frontiers, we
share our cultures with each other – that enriches everybody and gives valuable development.
I´m looking forward to exiting days full of
experiences, in the sign of singing, and I hope
that we will have many listeners during the
competition days.
I will also send a warmly “Thank you” to everybody, who in different ways, are supporting
the competition – sponsors, contributors, and
other partners, who, by their generous support, have helped us to make The Stenhammar
Competition to an international music center
in the beautiful summertime in Sweden and
Norrköping!
Sonja Stenhammar
Artistic Director of WSIMC
is Norrköping – a city with roots far back in the
Swedish history.
To this can be added that I, since two years,
has the privilege to be the Chairman of the board
for The Wilhelm Stenhammar Foundation. By
that, I come close to an international competition
for classical music. It is a truly pleasure to work
together with such an innovator as Sonja Stenhammar, who with great power of initiative is an
excellent Artistic Director for the competition.
Our competition will give young talented
opera singers a possibility to perform and develop
and help in starting of their careers. At the same
time, the audience got a great opportunity to listen to high classical opera music in Norrköping,
a city, well known for pioneering spirit and
curiosity in culture.
In The World Federation of International
Music Competitions, The Wilhelm Stenhammar
Competition is highly respected, and considered as
one of the best singing competitions in the world.
Together with The Norrköping Symphony
Orchestra – one of the most exiting orchestras in
Sweden – we are now for the fifth time opening
the doors to De Geerhallen – by my opinion –
the most beautiful Concert Hall in Sweden!
Welcome!
