Göteborgs Konserthus Side By Side

Event has already taken place

Today, El Sistema is located in Gothenburg’s all cultural schools, and every week more than 1500 participants meet to play together. Through education, Gothenburg’s Cultural Schools contribute to musical, social and human development with the aim of stimulating children and young people to take part in an equal and sustainable Gothenburg.

El Sistema Sweden Dream Orchestra was started in April 2016 by El Sistema’s artistic director Ron Davis Alvarez with a handful of young boys from a refugee home south of Gothenburg. A year later, the orchestra consists of more than 40 children and young people, most of whom are single members from Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Eritrea and Albania. Dream Orchestra is growing steadily in line with the availability of instruments with the aim of forming a full-size symphony orchestra.

The University of Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra consists of students who attend the master’s program in symphonic orchestral games at the stage for stage and music in Gothenburg. Here is the foundation for the work of professional orchestra musicians in an international environment. The education is unique in its kind and is conducted in collaboration with the Gothenburg Symphony and GöteborgsOperan.

All of these music-free children and young people unite here in a jazzy concert that includes the audience on a musical journey to Blåkulla, a royal Paris, a South American dance course and the pirates’ Caribbean.
