Epiphany Concert 2023
Once again, the time has come for Berwaldhallen’s traditional Festive Epiphany concert. Welcome inside to enjoy a musical firework of atmospheric music, gala and glamour. The Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Choir, together with the brilliant soloists Katija Dragojevic and Tobias Westman, offer a surprisingly packed program as usual. All under the direction of conductor Johannes Gustavsson.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Friday’s concert will be broadcast live on Sveriges Radio P2 and recorded for SVT. The concert will be broadcasted on SVT on January 7, 19.00.
Conductor- and solist change: Johannes Gustavsson replaces Alondra de la Parra as conductor and Tobias Westman replaces Joachim Bäckström.
