Fantastic artists and orchestras from around the whole Baltic Sea region as well as world-class music experiences are featured. Environmental leadership and music represent the key pillars of the Baltic Sea Festival.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Magnificent, symphonic music is set to dominate the thirteenth Baltic Sea Festival in Stockholm, Sweden. Tjajkovskij, whose anniversary is one of the many celebrated this year, is honoured with an orchestral version of the Nutcracker performed by the Mariinskij Theatre Orchestra with conductor Valery Gergiev. The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra with Kent Nagano recognises the 150th anniversary of Nielsen and Sibelius, but newer music also features with the Swedish premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Karawane. The festival this year also recognises the 80th anniversary of composer Arvo Pärt. Schönberg's Gurrelieder performed by two symphony orchestras and four choirs provides a grand finish to the festival week. Twitter: #balticseafestival
