In the sofa with Lena Willemark and Anders Hagberg
On Wednesday and Thursday October 14-15 we present two very special live concerts. On Wednesday, Gothenburg based flautist Anders Hagberg present the project Spaces where he gather twelve musicians for a unique and one-of-a-kind concert, taking over the different rooms of Göteborgs Konstmuseum. On Thursday Göteborg Wind Orchestra and singer/musician Lena Willemark present the project Rising Stars that feature no less than seven (!) premieres by students from Högskolan för Scen och Musik in Gothenburg.
We sat down with Anders and Lena plus our Artistic Director Staffan Mossenmark to try to find out what the audience might expect from these to quite different concerts. Please note that the interviews are in Swedish only!
Spaces is an exclusive live concert and will not be streamed. The concert with Göteborg Wind Orchestra & Lena Willemark is a live concert, but it will be also live-streamed at the GAS YouTube channel.
