The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (RSPO) Strings are part of the illustrious Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, a group steeped in a rich history that has become one of Sweden's premier musical ensembles. With its origins dating back to 1902, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic has since grown into a celebrated orchestra that has graced many stages across the world. The string section, in particular, is renowned for its exemplary musicianship and the warmth of tone that is a hallmark of the RSPO's sound.

Known for their versatility and breadth of repertoire, the RSPO Strings are lauded for their interpretations of both classic and contemporary compositions. Their release "Swedish String Music" is a testament to their commitment to showcasing Swedish composers and contributing to a greater understanding and appreciation of Sweden's musical heritage. Delving deeper into Nordic roots, they have performed works like Alfven's "Mountain King Suite" and "Symphony No. 5," capturing the unique Nordic spirit and emotional depth within these compositions. With an adventurous spirit, they have also explored the rich textures of Russian music as exemplified by their recordings of Scriabin's "Symphony No. 2," "Reverie," and "Le Poeme De L'Extase" where they have captured the essence of Scriabin's complex and passionate structures. As they continue to explore a varied range of music, the RSPO Strings reaffirm their position as a leading force in interpreting and performing the string orchestra repertoire at the highest level.
