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.

The lecture series Classical Curiosities provides you with knowledge about classical music through relaxed Tuesday lectures. You’ll hear the stories behind the music, learn about the composers, and enjoy reflections from the stage and the audience in a delightful mix. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet others who are curious about classical music.
