Nobel theme
The writings of literature laureates have inspired generations of composers.
During a themed week at Konserthuset Stockholm, literature and music come together in concerts and conversations highlighting the close relationship between the two art forms. There are also several opportunities to experience the guided Nobel Tour. The themed week coincides with the announcement of this year’s Nobel Prize laureate in Literature.
