The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, known colloquially as SON, is a beacon of the classical music scene in Sweden, with their origins dating back to the 1912. Established in the industrial city of Norrköping, the orchestra has become synonymous with promoting a diverse repertoire that ranges from the great classical masterpieces to contemporary works by living composers. With a particular penchant for Swedish composers, SON has distinguished itself through its dedication to the works of Allan Pettersson, a Swedish modernist composer whose profound symphonies have been a recurring feature in the orchestra's recent programs.

Over the years, the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra has committed to recording projects that have brought significant attention to underrepresented composers, as evidenced by their extensive discography. Their recent releases showcase a poignant array of compositions, including the emotionally charged symphonies of Natanael Berg and the dynamic works of Penderecki, illustrating the orchestra's versatility and commitment to both historical and contemporary compositions. Additionally, their exploration of thematic projects, such as the "House of Cards Symphony" composed by Jeff Beal, highlights their range and adaptability within the musical arena. Under the baton of talented conductors and featuring the talents of skilled soloists, the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Sweden's classical music heritage, continuously enchanting audiences both locally and on the international stage.
