Nielsen: Symphony No 4

With his broad musical experience (he played cornet, percussion and violin), Nielsen has always been popular with orchestras: he is a “musicians’ composer” whose parts are almost always rich in content and challenging.

World-renowned Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto is the new Principal Guest Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra for the 2025–2026 season. As a violinist, he has become known as a charismatic and genre-crossing musician who offers audiences something extraordinary from the podium.
