Ellen Arkbro live in Stockholm

Experience Ellen Arkbro live on October 30th

Ellen Arkbro will perform at Konserthuset Stockholm on October 30, 2026. Arkbro is a Swedish composer and musician known for her work with just intonation, exploring harmonic relationships beyond traditional equal temperament. Her compositions often feature acoustic instruments – primarily organ, brass, and strings – creating subtly shifting soundscapes characterized by resonant overtones and a meditative quality. She frequently investigates the physicality of sound and the spaces in which it occurs, resulting in pieces that are both minimalist and richly textured. Arkbro’s work has been described as bridging contemporary classical music with microtonal explorations.

Konserthuset Stockholm opened in 1926 and is renowned for its exceptional acoustics. Designed by architect Ivar Tengbom, the building is considered a prime example of Swedish modernism, incorporating elements of Nordic Classicism. The main concert hall boasts a distinctive horseshoe shape inspired by the Musikverein in Vienna, aiming to optimize sound reflection and distribution. It is home to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts a wide range of musical performances including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, and solo performances.
