Ibert,<\/a> Kuula, and Brahms<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With these three composers, the Ume\u00e5 Music Society kicks off the 2026\u20132027 concert season at the Norrlands Opera. The soloist will be Ebba Wall\u00e9n<\/em>, principal flutist of the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra, who will perform Jacques Ibert\u2019s Flute Concerto <\/em>.

Ebba Wall\u00e9n<\/em> was born in Malm\u00f6 in 1994. Her formal education includes two master\u2019s degrees. One in music from the Norwegian Academy of Music and the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, completed in 2021, and one in Baroque music and the Baroque recorder (travero), to be completed in 2023, from the University of Catholic Church Music and Music Pedagogy in Regensburg. Ebba has performed with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, the Oslo Philharmonic, the Malm\u00f6 Symphony Orchestra, the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, and the Philharmonie Salzburg; she has also won numerous prizes in international competitions and received scholarships from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in Stockholm and Villa Musica in Germany.

Tonight\u2019s concert opens with Suite for Orchestra No. 1, Op. 9:1, *Landscape* (*Maisema*), composed <\/em>between 1906 and 1909 by Toivo Kuula<\/em> (1883\u20131918). With his romantic sensibility, he may be the Finnish composer most deeply rooted in his native region of South-East Ostrobothnia. He studied intermittently at the Helsinki Music Institute and, in 1908\u2014when this work was written\u2014had Armas J\u00e4rnefelt as his teacher. <\/a>On Walpurgis Night in 1918, while the Whites were celebrating their victory at the Battle of Vyborg\u2014an event Kuula attended\u2014he was shot in the head by two riflemen. Kuula died on May 18, and the riflemen involved died before the trial took place.

Jacques Ibert ( <\/em>1890\u20131962) was, along with Arthur Honegger and Darius Milhaud, one of France\u2019s most representative musicians of the 20th century. Ibert is often described as a composer who defied conventional compositional rules. His Concerto for Flute and Orchestra<\/em> was written in 1932 and premiered in 1934.

After the intermission, the concert concludes with Johannes Brahms\u2019 Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73<\/em>, composed in the summer of 1877. In November of that same year, Brahms wrote to his publisher that he had never written anything so sad and melancholic. But dear audience\u2014just sit back, listen, and enjoy! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
