Göteborgs Konserthus The Orchestra Lineup

Just like in a football team. Everyone has different roles in an orchestra. But who decides what? And what do all the titles mean? Conductor Johannes Gustavsson with guest give an insight into how the symphony orchestra was formed throughout the history of music and how to get 100 people to hit the target. 

Lecturer Johannes Gustavsson is a professional conductor. He regularly conducts orchestras such as the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. He is artistic director of Jönköpings Sinfonietta and is an aficionado of contemporary Nordic music. 

The guest for the evening is football legend Torbjörn Nilsson, who knows all about the importance of team spirit.
