Conductor

Join us in a visit to heaven on earth! Tomas von Brömssen narrates the story of Lars-Erik Larsson’s Swedish classic, performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, choir and vocal soloists.

God in Disguise

Göteborgs Symfoniker

How do you keep track of everything in a score? At this evening’s classical music lecture, conductor Johannes Gustavsson reveals the hard work that goes in before a concert, and familiarises us with a Swedish classic: Lars-Erik Larsson’s God in Disguise.

Classical Curiosity: Scores in Depth

Composer Mats Larsson Gothe has had significant success in recent years, including with the opera Löftet ("The Promise") at the Royal Swedish Opera. Already in 2016, he was the focus of Konserthuset’s Composer Weekend Festival. Here, we hear the world premiere of a new cello concerto, featuring internationally renowned Torleif Thedéen as the cello soloist. "The cello concerto for Torleif captures everything that a cello can convey: longing, dreams, pain, and melancholy – but also anger and resignation. I have used the full range of expression", Mats Larsson Gothe explains.

Stenhammar's second symphony

Stockholm City Hall

Once again, the time has come for Berwaldhallen’s traditional Festive Epiphany concert. Welcome inside to enjoy a musical firework of atmospheric music, gala and glamour. The Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Choir, together with the brilliant soloists Katija Dragojevic and Tobias Westman, offer a surprisingly packed program as usual. All under the direction of conductor Johannes Gustavsson.
