Side by side with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, this evening ADVANCED and PRE-ADVANCED ORCHESTRA, Side by Side’s musical spearhead, create a double symphony orchestra. Together with YOUTH CHOIR and Gothenburg Symphony Vocal Ensemble, they offer a high-class musical cavalcade, under the direction of conductors Emilia Hoving and Marjolein Vermeeren, and choir director Birgitta Mannerström Molin.
