Opus 13 live in Stockholm

Experience Opus 13 live on May 22nd

Opus 13, a contemporary string quartet, will perform at Konserthuset Stockholm on May 22, 2027. The ensemble is known for its interpretations of both classical repertoire and newly commissioned works, often incorporating elements of minimalist and post-tonal music alongside traditional string quartet forms. Their performances frequently emphasize textural exploration and dynamic range, seeking to present a modern perspective on chamber music.

Konserthuset Stockholm opened in 1926 and is renowned for its exceptional acoustics. Designed by Ivar Tengbom, the building exemplifies Swedish functionalism with Art Deco influences. Its main hall is particularly noted for its shoe-box shape, which contributes to its natural reverberation and clarity – characteristics highly valued by musicians and audiences alike.

The venue has long been associated with classical music excellence; it’s the regular performance space for the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts numerous international soloists and ensembles annually. The acoustics were significantly improved during renovations completed in 2018, further solidifying Konserthuset’s reputation as one of Europe’s premier concert halls. The building also houses smaller spaces used for recitals and other musical events.
