Programme & participants

8:30 PM
The Gothenburg Symphony Folk Musicians’ Ensemble – Featuring Nicola Boruvka, Hanna Eliasson, Pernilla Carlzon Lindh and Per Högberg – kick off this cultural night with familiar melodies from Dalarna. As an added treat, you also get to experience something locally crafted: “Summer’s Offering,” a composition by our talented violinist, Pernilla Carlzon Lindh. Get ready to swing along! (15-20 min)

9:00 PM
Percussion duel – Lively and sensuously beautiful with hints of gentle waltz rhythms, when Gothenburg Symphony’s percussionists, Martin Ödlund and Walter Witick, invite you to this warmly resonant Toccata for vibraphone and marimba by Anders Koppel. (11 min)

9:30 PM
Decathlon – Gothenburg Symphony’s trumpeter Per Ivarsson and percussionist Martin Ödlund take on the septuple challenge in André Jolivet’s composition “Heptade.” The music moves between landscapes of jazz influences and ancient mysticism, pushing the boundaries of what is even possible to play. (18 min)

10:00 PM
Completely Baroque! – Gothenburg Symphony’s violinist and viola da gambist, Samuel Runsteen, along with Andreas Edlund on harpsichord, guide us deeper into the night during this cultural celebration, with improvisations from the past in a program of Italian and English compositions from the 16th and 17th century. Prepare for a blend of contemplative and wild Baroque music. (24min)
