“Music can give you comfort”
In February 2025, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra performed Ice heart (Ishjärta) by Swedish Lisa Streich, a contrasting meeting between hot and cold. The work depicts the two elements of the heart; one that is dense, warm and pulsating and one that is closed and isolated. Listen to her talk about the thoughts behind the piece, which she hopes will make the listener feel alive – seen and never alone. The interview was recorded in March 2025.
