The National Orchestra of Sweden

ALL ABOUT THE ARTS

Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. This terrific site is another of my favorite sources of musical pleasure right at home.

Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1905 and today consists of over 100 musicians.

The orchestra’s home is the Gothenburg Concert Hall. Santtu-Matias Rouvali is the Chief Conductor. In 1997, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra was appointed as the National Orchestra of Sweden.

With a strong commitment and belief in the uniting power of music, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra will be available even more on GSOplay (https://www.gso.se/en/gsoplay/) while the visits in the Concert Hall are limited due to the corona pandemic.

You don’t need an account, just click the concert range and start watching.
