The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic is performing 13 pieces by Olga Neuwirth in four days.

She’s in town – everywhere.

    Music, if that’s the right word, for the tin-eared, liberal-Left Establishment, supported of course by a seemingly endless supply of taxpayers’ money.

    And all those lavish ‘prizes’…Minimum content, but she ticks all, or most of the right boxes.

    Perfect for the self-loathing decadent West.

    • William Osborne says:

      Sorry to let you know, but the conservative parties in Europe support contemporary classical music just as much if not more than the left.

  • Concertgebouw79 says:

    I like very much the facade of the Stockholm concert hall and the square on it. Inside the concert hall has less charm the sound is good but not fantastic like in the magic Göteborg’s concert hall. but it’s a place to visit and there’s a very good orchestra espacially for Mozart. For the music of today I don’t know.

    …where’s John Borstlap when we need him to react? 🙂 (yes, we know he’s having a premiere)

  • Michael B. says:

    I am so sick of this crowd of misogynist troglodytes who rant that women can neither conduct nor compose. Why don’t you go back to 1750 when women were confined to Kinder, Küche, und Kirche?
