Conductor and Violinist
Tonight my Conductor Students has a concert in Linköping with Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker.
The event is a meeting with the new generation of conductors, a concert with conductor students from Kungl. Stockholm Academy of Music.
Live Concert May 12, 19.00
On stage is up to 100 children and young people from different parts of the world who, together with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, present something never before seen … A sequel to On Foot.
GSO has listened to songs and stories from children and teenagers who live in the city. The best GSO can offer is mixed with the best they can offer and together they have created a show that shows this.
Katarina Andreasson conductor
Scenen intas av upp emot 100 barn och unga från olika delar av världen som tillsammans med Göteborgs Symfoniker presenterar något aldrig tidigare skådat… En efterföljare av Till Fots.
Göteborgs Symfoniker har lyssnat på sånger och berättelser från barn och nästan vuxna som bor i staden. Det bästa GSO kan erbjuda blandas med det bästa de kan erbjuda och tillsammans har man skapat en föreställning som visar detta.

Stötta gärna GSOplay – klassisk musik tillgänglig för alla via GSOplay.
A musical story with the Gothenburg Symphony and a big children´s choir about walking and leaving what was once “home”. Walking towards something unknown to escape something indescribable. And don’t be surprised if some of the music we’ll hear has also come from far away…
About sores, homesickness and new discoveries. On Foot has been created with people who have that experience – people who have just arrived to our country or who arrived several years ago. The story of moving exists within our country as well, and all people can recognise what it feels like to arrive in a new place. These stories hold melancholy, the hope of a better future, and the memory of grandma’s best trick.

“Underbart!”
“Enastående! Tala om integration, kulturmöten, generationsmöten!
Människomöten och människoöden!”
Acclaimed Swedish violinist and conductor Katarina Andreasson attended a week of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra rehearsals in November 2017. Jim Wilson got an interview.
Jim Wilson – Katarina, please tell us a little about your career and how you ended up as concertmaster of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
Katarina Andreasson – I started my violin studies quite early, graduating with a Diploma from The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen by Prof. Milan Vitek. At the age of 22 I got my first position as 1st Concertmaster of the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra. After 10 years in Denmark I was longing back to Sweden, to our wonderful nature. I got the position as 1st Concertmaster of the Gothenburg Opera orchestra in 1995. In 1997 I had my international debut as a soloist, when I played Howard Blake violin concerto “The Leeds” in Royal Festival Hall with the Philharmonia orchestra. The same year I was offered the position as 1st Concertmaster of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra (SCO). With the SCO it has really been a journey!
