40 Years of Music: Disco ’79

Master arranger and conductor Hans Ek is no stranger to dance music. With the power of the orchestra, he has interpreted the pioneers Kraftwerk, injected Stravinsky into Swedish House Mafia and now it is disco’s turn. The 40th anniversary of Berwaldhallen opens with glitter and sequins, platform shoes and glamour, as the most classic seventies disco hits move from the dance floor to the concert hall.
