Konsten i Konserthuset
Många av konstverken i Göteborgs Konserthus knyter an till musik eller har en relation till Göteborgs Symfoniker. Här finns allt från porträtt av kompositörer som Grieg och Sibelius till Sveriges största väv med mönster av Sven X-et Erixson.
Upplev konsertmagin
Göteborgs Konserthus har trollbundit musikälskare sedan 1935. Att koppla av och komma i stämning i den vackra omgivningen för att sedan bli rörd, upprymd och överväldigad av musiken hör till livets höjdpunkter.
