Gävle Symphony Orchestra

The Gävle Symphony Orchestra, based in the coastal Swedish city of Gävle, is a dynamic ensemble known for blending classical traditions with fresh, innovative projects. Founded in 1912, the orchestra has built a reputation for its eclectic programming, spanning everything from Mozart piano concertos to reimagined collaborations with contemporary Swedish artists like Annika Norlin and Jonas Nydesjö. Their recent releases showcase their versatility, whether resurrecting silent film scores (like the 1919 *Song of the Scarlet Flower*), diving into Brahms’ lush orchestral arrangements, or spotlighting modern composers like Vito Palumbo. The orchestra frequently bridges eras and genres, pairing Romantic-era grandeur with playful experimentation—think Schoenberg’s orchestration of Brahms’ piano quartet alongside Parry’s *Elegy for Brahms*. With a knack for both preserving classical gems and embracing Sweden’s vibrant musical present, the Gävle Symphony Orchestra remains a cornerstone of the country’s cultural landscape.
