Relaxed Performance

Relaxed Performance is a concert format where everyone is welcome to enjoy the music in any way they want. Featuring musicians from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and dancers from Danskompaniet Spinn, here you can move around, dance, sing or just listen.

”Relaxed Performance is the first step in important development work dedicated to finding a new type of concert situation, where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome. The issue of accessibility to arts and its basic conditions poses a number of questions, but fails to deliver any conclusive answers. Relaxed Performance is a way of addressing this issue. Maybe it can be a laboratory, where we use the possibilities of art as the starting point to create more spaces, different spaces where we can meet and enjoy symphonic music in a variety of ways, in different ways. The goal has to be greater inclusion and a broadening of the norm. We have to be bold enough to challenge convention and traditional ways of thinking. I believe this leads to growth. For those of us who choose to be present in the concert hall; for the way we present and perform; for art itself.” – Petra Kloo Vik, Head of the Educational Department, Gothenburg Concert Hall.
