The Eric Ericson Award Concert

92 young conductors. That’s the number of applicants for this year’s Eric Ericson Award – the competition for the most talented choral conductors, in which the winner is given the opportunity to lead some of the world’s foremost professional choirs. So far, the prize has been awarded three times, and strives to achieve a high artistic and competitive level in choral conducting. Eric Ericson has been immeasurably significant to the Swedish choir scene. Now, his heritage is in the hands of a new generation of conductors.
