No, not the Bergman film, in which Max von Sydow exacts terrible vengeance on those who… well, nevermind. Suffice it to say, the show’s not about that. Rather, it’s a program of vernal expressions from Sweden, including Gunnar de Frumerie’s “Pastoral Suite” and two works by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger: Book III from “Flowers of Frösö” and the “Earina Suite.” According to the composer, “Earina” conjures a world of “cult deeds and magic rites… belonging to some undefined natural religion.” Nobody does spring quite like the Swedes. Enjoy an hour of well-seasoned music, this Sunday at 10 pm.
