Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra plays in Vara Konserthus

Vara Concert Hall

With soft melodies and technical challenges, this Violin Concerto by Max Bruch is beloved, and it is performed tonight by Nikolaj Znaider. We also hear Elgar’s infinitely beautiful Enigma Variations with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in all its splendour.

Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1

Göteborgs Symfoniker

Bruch's intense Violin Concerto contains both full-blooded romance and folk-inspired power. From the cautious, yet dramatic opening with swirling timpani to the stomping, energetic final movement – ​​and not forgetting the infinitely beautiful middle movement – ​​the concert oozes intensity.

Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider is Denmark’s most internationally celebrated and sought-after violinist. Since launching his career in 1997 with a victory at the Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition, he has performed as a soloist with the world’s leading orchestras. Yet, no matter how packed his schedule may be, Szeps-Znaider always returns to Denmark and his musical roots.
