The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra is a multiple-award-winning ensemble renowned for its high artistic standard and stylistic breadth, as well as collaborations with the world’s finest composers, conductors, and soloists. It regularly tours all over Europe and the world and has an extensive and acclaimed recording catalogue.

Daniel Harding has been Music Director of the SRSO since 2007, and since 2019 also its Artistic Director. His tenure will last throughout the 2024/2025 season. Two of the orchestra’s former chief conductors, Herbert Blomstedt and Esa-Pekka Salonen, have since been named Conductors Laureate, and continue to perform regularly with the orchestra.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra performs at Berwaldhallen, concert hall of the Swedish Radio, and is a cornerstone of Swedish public service broadcasting. Its concerts are heard weekly on the Swedish classical radio P2 and regularly on national public television SVT. Several concerts are also streamed on-demand on Berwaldhallen Play and broadcast globally through the EBU.

Moto Boy (Oskar Humlebo) har kallats den omisskänlige romantikern med den makalösa rösten. När han dök upp på den svenska musikscenen 2006 med sin sakrala sång och självklara utstrålning lämnade han få oberörda. Hans första skivor Moto Boy (2008) och Lost in the call (2010) togs emot väl av musikrecensenterna och beskrevs bland annat som ”en hel gosskör i fjäderboa.” Hans tredje skiva Keep your darkness secret (2014) spelades in i Funkhaus, Berlin med österrikiska producenten Niko Stoessl (SlikNik) och tog ett steg i en mer elektronisk, mörkare riktning.

2017 släpptes skivan New Music med ett sound i en radikalt ny riktning. Tillsammans igen med Niko Stoessl (SlikNik) skapade Moto Boy en spöklik mix av skandinavisk melankoli och Berlins klubbscen och skivan innehöll samarbeten med artister som Nina Persson, Berlinbaserade duon Grau, svenska polarelectronika-artisten Pikko och trummisen Christian Eigner.

2019 var Moto Boy åter aktuell nytt material, den här gången på sitt modersmål svenska. Första singeln Min stora kärlek gick direkt in på Spotifys ”indie highlights” spellista då den släpptes.

Under åren har Moto Boy också turnerat internationellt, öppnat åt artister som Whitney Houston och Smashing Pumpkins, komponerat musik till olika uppsättningar och själv medverkat i bland mycket annat uppsättningen Lubiewo – kärleksön på Göteborgs stadsteater, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo på Wermland Operas samt den hyllade föreställningen The feeling of going på Malmö Opera.

Man har också kunnat se Moto Boy som livegitarrist med band som The Cardigans och The Ark på turné i hela världen.
