 World stars, inspiring conversations, and a shared belief in the future.
This year's edition of the Baltic Sea Festival takes its starting point in the theme of "waves" – a symbol for everything from sound and light to the movements of history and emotions.
In line with the theme, the festival invites you to magnificent concerts and exciting conversations with a focus on nature, creativity, collaboration, and music.
The highlights are many: The festival opens on the Baltic Sea Day on August 28 with Grammy-winning conductor Alan Gilbert, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, and shooting star Maria Dueñas in Bruch's Violin Concerto. The world premiere of Mikael Karlsson's and Anna von Hausswolff's Grand Guignol, with both the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Radio Choir, promises an evening of darkness and ecstasy, and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra makes its first appearance in Sweden under the direction of Manfred Honeck.
World-renowned pianist Piotr Anderszewski performs a recital with music by Bartók and Brahms, and violinist Janine Jansen begins her season as Artist in Residence with Franz Schubert's enchanting Octet in F major. Jazz makes its debut at the Baltic Sea Festival when Petter Eldh's Post Koma, Sofia Jernberg and Per Texas Johansson take the stage at Fasching, and for the youngest Berwaldhallen visitors, a full day of musical activities, instrument exploration, and an exciting performance at sea awaits.
Exciting collaborations
This year, Berwaldhallen is collaborating with the Finnish Institute, where the festival launches a chamber music project that will run in the fall of 2025. In collaboration with Voksenåsen and Creative Dialogue, promising young musicians and composers from the Nordic countries meet in a creative collaboration, also at the Finnish Institute. Voksenåsen and Talent Norge will also host a concert at the Norwegian Embassy (for invited guests). We are also pleased to offer a unique VR experience together with the Royal Institute of Technology and the Technical Museum! You can find all our partners here.
Salonen conducts the final
The festival's co-founder Esa-Pekka Salonen, also Artist in Residence in 2025/2026, promises a magnificent finale with Strauss's farewell songs Vier letzte Lieder and Bruckner's romantic fourth symphony, together with the acclaimed soprano Asmik Grigorian and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
