    Festival Concert

    Tuesday June 17, 15.00-ca 16.30

    Scandinavium

    Welcome to take part in a magical musical experience where the camp's over 2,000 young musicians and singers come together with Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in a powerful musical manifestation.

    During Festival Concert, Side by Side's singers and musicians perform together with Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. They form massive choirs and orchestras in various combinations and mixed ages, all under the direction of the camp's renowned conductors Ron Davis Alvarez, Emilia Hoving, Marjolein Vermeeren, Ida Rosén Hamrå and Birgitta Mannerström-Molin.

    This year's program includes, among other things, Alice Tegnér's beloved Ute blåser sommarvind for choir and orchestra, classical pieces by Mozart, Bernstein and Brahms, as well as gradiose film music in Vangelis' Conquest of Paradise. In addition to this, the traditional sailor's song Wellerman makes a fond return together with Zara Larsson's Symphony.

    The concert also boasts the premiere of Två hjärtan, composed by Tormod Tvete Vik. He wrote the basic melody for the performance Bubblor, which was performed in 2023, but now the music has been rearranged for the massive Side by Side orchestra and given a beautiful text by Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra’s own Mats Kjelbye.

    The concert marks the end of the camp for the UPPER INTERMEDIATE, INTERMEDIATE, and BASIC ORCHESTRA.

    Participating: All camp participants are part of the concert in varying degrees, incl Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra
