Three concerts in three days is a bit much. It wasn’t intentional, but the two concert series happened to end up on the same weekend. Sara Parkman’s concert came up much later, and I couldn’t just pass it by.

The Sunday afternoon chamber music series is usually nice and cosy. Some pieces are definitely more interesting than others, but if nothing else, it’s a moment of peace. Today’s concert concluded with 45 minutes of a piano quintet by Brahms.

For most instruments, it’s different players each time. The philharmonic orchestra obviously has numerous violinists and so on. But the pianist is often the same – Stefan Lindgren. By now I recognize not only him, but also his loyal page turner, who’s often there with him. The others all manage their own sheet music, physically or digitally, but a pianist’s feet are, obviously, busy with pedals already.
