Grammy Award winner Johan Dalene becomes Artist in Residence with the Gävle Symphony Orchestra
Violinist Johan Dalene have long been on a roll, and at the last Swedish Grammy Awards, he won in the Classical of the Year category. Now we can happily announce that Dalene will be Artist in Residence with the Gävle Symphony Orchestra for the 2023-2024 season.
During the season, Dalene will play Sibelius' Violin Concerto together with Gävle Symphony Orchestra's former chief conductor Jaime Martín, and Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 with the orchestra's new chief conductor Christian Reif.
Roza Nolcheva, Director of Programming and Artistic Planning for Gävle Symphony Orchestra, says:
“The orchestra’s relationship to Johan Dalene has been building over several years, and his amazing artistry has been shining through in every single one of his performances here in Gävle. We think that his unique talent is complemented by the musicianship of our orchestra members, and that is why we wanted to present our mutual joy of performing together in a special way.
Having Johan as artist in residence will give us an opportunity to explore each other’s musical worlds, to dive deeper into an exploration of ideas and sounds and to present our audience with a special insight in who Johan Dalene is as an artist.
The three concerts that will feature him in the season will include some of the master works of the violin literature; the concertos of Sibelius and Prokofiev with our former and new chief conductors Jaime Martin and Christian Reif respectively. He will also play a chamber music concert with some of the orchestral musicians which will show a different side of him and our orchestra members and a rare opportunity for the audience to experience a different repertoire.”
