The time has come to meet the true King of
the Orchestra. Joining us in the double capacity
of soloist and fellow musician is Rick Stotijn,
one of the world's leading double bass players.
We are also officially welcoming our new artistic
director, Malin Broman.
The concert programme is a fiery one, one
that will get your imagination flowing. Three
composers from different eras and cultures give
us a taste of what passion meant to them. The
bass player is the one fuelling the music from
bottom to top.

JAZZ
featuring Gunhild Carling
She is a full-blooded entertainer, a phenomenon
who gets everyone around her hooked on jazz
and swing. For the first time, Gunhild and the
player of Musica Vitae meet, presenting her own
musical 'Love Letters' arranged for strings. The
programme is a vibrant celebration of American
music of the 20ies and 30ies.

Music
and time
Emotions, elegance and action are three words
to describe what's to be expected when Musica
Vitae meet with Frispel, the cross-over trio that
mixes traditional Nordic music with that of
medieval Europe. Swedish folk music, languorous Romanian tunes from the Middle Ages
and fiery Italian estampies will envelope the
listeners making it almost impossible to sit still.
The music is arranged by Stefan Levin.

family
concert
at the Concert Hall
What is friendship? Yankho Kamwendo is a
popular presenter of Swedish children's tele
vision programmes. Together with his chums in
the orchestra he's wondering what friendship is
really like. Are the instruments best friends? Are
the best sounds made when they are the same or
diverse? Magical powers can be found in music
and at the concert we are all sure to become
best friends.
Before and after the concert, the concert hall
foyer is filled with activities. You can listen to
bands from the local music schools, get you face
painted, do paper craft or take a quiz.

in a
world
changing
In 2015 we celebrate the 150 years anniversary
of the great Nordic composers Carl Nielsen
and Jean Sibelius. The two of them lived in
times of great change, where wars, the birth of
new nations, scientific achievements and new
musical currents had great impact on their lives
and on their work. In this concert some of their
magnificent chamber music is paired with the
elegant neoclassicism of Francis Poulenc, and
the Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani
by the latter makes full use of the impressive
church organs.
(The concert in Växjö is a collaboration with
the Church of Sweden)

Rekviem
A Journey Beyond and Within
Rekviem - a meeting between Musica Vitae
Chamber Orchestra, singers from the Stockholm-based Harmony of Voices Choir and
Circus Glass Royale. Choreography, video
projections and music in fusion take us on
an enticing journey for all the senses. Sensual
French Baroque combined with the pensive
sound of an electric guitar in Gavin Bryars' After
the Requiem form a moving visual performance
focusing on the properties of glass - still liquid.
All performances are presented by the arts
festival Smålands Kulturfestival.

MESSIAS
The world's most beloved oratorio marks the
beginning of advent, and a sparkling advent it
will be! Together with the Eric Ericson Chamber
Choir, Scandinavian star soloists and Estonian
natural trumpets we fill the Växjö Cathedral with
the music that epitomises the season festivities.
The concert is also given at the Ytterjärna House
for the Arts and the Stockholm Concert Hall.
(The concert in Växjö is a collaboration with
the Church of Sweden)

This time of the year is oozing with tradition,
and the month of December offers you no less
than three occasions to get into the Christmas
spirit together with your very own chamber
orchestra, Musica Vitae. In our family concert
we are joined by Olle Steimer, Santa's elves and
Saint Lucia with her entourage. Actress Catherine
Westling is our guest as we bring you some of
our most beloved Christmas music, poems and
stories. On the fourth Sunday of Advent we go
full circle when we once again can be heard in
the Växjö Cathedral.
