Stop by after work and enjoy a Wednesday evening of mingling and music of perfect format.
Some songs stick in the memory and continue to evoke the same strong emotions every time we hear them. The rare song Bailèro is just such a piece, as if from a fantasy film or fairy tale.
In the early twentieth century, French Joseph Canteloube collected folk songs from Auvergne, France, in the charming Occitan language. A total of 27 songs were arranged for solo voice and orchestra, and were first recorded in 1930. You’ll now hear the conductor’s selection.
Next is the mystical story of Daphnis and Chloé, united by love and kinship. Maurice Ravel’s style always finds new paths, giving fresh energy to the Greek tale.
Swedish composer Helena Munktell studied in Paris and was inspired by her French colleagues. The concert begins with her powerful Bränningar.
Conductor Ludovic Morlot is active around the world and is currently Music Director of the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra.
Continue the evening in the foyer bars
The concert is one hour long and afterwards, the evening continues in the foyer bars, where Gothenburg Concert Hall will offer more live music and a lovely setting.
