Welcome the spring with the Gothenburg Symphony, with music that is like the first rays of sunshine in the month of May – warming, dazzling and wonderfully surprising.

The concert opens with Argentinian composer Ginastera’s sparkling sparkling harp concerto with Gwyneth Wentink as soloist. Sibelius’ soaring, vibrant Fifth Symphony then blossoms in its full glory, all under the direction of British legend Sir John Eliot Gardiner.

British Sir John Eliot Gardiner is one of the most noted conductors of our time. Above all, he has made himself known as a great Bach interpreter. Gardiner has visited Sweden several times before, including at the Nobel Prize concert. This will be his first performance with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.
