Tradition and present merge in a dynamic meeting between Swedish hiphop elite and symphonic orchestra in a unique concert in Gothenburg Concert Hall. At the forefront of this fusion is artist Vic Vem, the Gothenburg rapper who is passionate about the words, the story and the dynamics – the soul of hiphop. Vic Vem has a versatile position in Swedish hiphop and runs several projects to help young people write music.

With him this evening, he has artists from Sweden’s hip-hop elite: the rapper and dancer Imenella released her debut album in 2022 with tracks of dancehall and r’n’b and was named Newcomer of the Year at the Grammy Awards in 2019. Erik Lundin spells success in all his collaborations – from Ullevi’s huge audience as a guest artist with Håkan Hellström, to performances with Daniel Adams-Ray and hits like Suedi. In addition, Uppsala’s pride Dani M, well-established artist with roots in both hip-hop and reggae. Hans Ek conducts this unique collaboration.

With arranger and conductor Hans Ek on the podium, we can always count on great musical experiences and newly interpreted Swedish pop of the highest class. Together with artists such as Zara Larsson, Laleh and Veronica Maggio, he has created concerts that have given him a very special position in Swedish music life. In Gothenburg Concert Hall you have met him in Bowie in Berlin, Kosmische Musik, E.S.T. Symphony and Disco. Now he is taking on the hiphop scene together with the Gothenburg Symphony.

Göteborgs Symfonikers alla musiker går mot kameran på en röd matta i garderobshallen. De är glada och pratar med varandra.

2 April 2024 Låt dig överraskas, njuta och upptäcka nytt!

Med basen i en trygg punkt vågar vi möta det spännande, det som utmanar och kanske till och med det som skrämmer. För mig är det rymden som svindlar mest. Det oändliga mörkret, dit några söker sig och där andra söker. Det kan vi möta tillsammans.

28 December 2023 Musiken knyter oss till varandra

Genom musiken kan vi få tillgång till det förflutna, som känslan av andras hjärtslag. Den kan hjälpa oss förstå oss själva i den tid vi lever och ge inspiration att gå vidare.
