Experience the masterful Gustav Mahler at his brightest and most lyrical. His Symphony No. 4 portrays the heavenly fantasy of living harmoniously together. The highlight is the last movement, with the soprano solo: “We revel in heavenly pleasures.” It was very much thanks to Symphony No. 4 that Mahler regained his popularity in Europe after World War II. In Gothenburg, the symphony was first performed in 1917 at the Concert Hall on Heden, conducted by Wilhelm Stenhammar.
The 35-year-old emerging Norwegian star Tabita Berglund took the audience by storm when she conducted Sibelius with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in 2024. She leads orchestras worldwide and now makes a welcome return, bringing with her romantic songs by fellow Norwegian Ludvig Irgens-Jensen. A sense of spring awaits when his popular songs about a Japanese spring blossom in the room, evoking dreams of cherry trees with soprano Ida Falk Winland. She is well known for the Gothenburg audience and a recent guest at the Hillborg Concert in November 2024.
