The theme 'Mirrors and Reflections' permeates the program for the 2025/2026 season, and honorary conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and violinist Janine Jansen will be frequent guests as Artists in Residence at Berwaldhallen
Mirrors & Reflections
This season's concerts are woven together with threads of light, longing, darkness, despair, nostalgia, and hope. Through each performance, the musical heritage of the past is reflected in contemporary interpretations, while we constantly move towards an always unknown future. The theme creates a tapestry of emotions and thoughts – where music serves as a mirror for the innermost feelings and dreams of humanity.
