On 11 November, as part of Odeum’s Spirituality theme, musicians and singers from the academic and ecclesiastical spheres meet again for a concert in which the Lund University Academic Orchestra and Lund Cathedral choirs together perform “David’s Psalm 98” by the former cathedral organist and director of music Wilhelm Gnosspelius.
This performance will take place just over 160 years after the music was first performed in the Cathedral. Welcome to a unique concert in Lund’s music history that also includes music by Franz Liszt and Francis Poulenc.
On 18 November, the Lund University Academic Choir celebrates 75 years as a mixed choir with a grand jubilee concert and is particularly pleased to welcome former choir member and now acclaimed opera star Emma Sventelius as guest soloist. Together with the Lund University Academic Choir, she will present some of the choir’s favourite songs by composers such as Sven-Eric Johansson, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, Benjamin Britten and Edward Elgar.
It will be a jubilee concert that pays tribute to the music itself!
