Programme
Karlskrona International Piano Festival brings world-class international pianists to perform in the beautiful setting of
the historic city of Karlskrona. The festival will embrace different themes, celebrating composer anniversaries, musical
styles, countries, historical events, and promoting the works of Swedish composers and international women
composers. The organisers of the festival believe that music and art are democratic. Talent for music does not depend
on gender or nationality, and so we aim to encourage young women composers and performers from different
backgrounds and walks of life to find their places in the music profession. Another aim of the festival is to present a
wide range of music: together with well-known repertoire the artists will perform long-forgotten, neglected, or still
waiting to be discovered works, written by international composers, as well as giving world premieres of pieces written
by their contemporaries today. In this way, the festival will be an all-embracing celebration of piano music.
6 November, Wednesday
Karlskrona Concert Hall, 19.00
This concert will open with the performance of rarely heard pieces by the Swedish female composer Valborg Aulin,

Celebrating Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-1894)
One of Russia’s most famous composers of all time, Tchaikovsky died tragically on 6 November 1894—125 years ago.
To commemorate Tchaikovsky’s life, this concert will open with a performance of the beautiful suite for piano where
each of the twelve pieces are dedicated to the months of the year. This suite is seldom heard in its entirety, so this is a
rare opportunity to hear it complete, presented by the dynamic Slovenian pianist Ermin Tkalec.
In the second half of the concert we will hear one of the most beloved piano concertos of all time (and one of the most
difficult ones) played by 19-year-old Jack Campbell with Peter Jablonski providing the orchestral accompaniment on
the second piano.
