“It’s difficult to get so much good music of such high quality any other way. You get so much more than music. The ensembles are outgoing, and you get to enjoy very good humour. It shows that they spend a lot of time making it good, that they’re committed and take care of each other,” says Martin Nilsson, student at LiU.
Martin has followed the choirs for several years and has thus also been able to see how individual choristers develop. He also appreciates how they are constantly working to be forerunners and modern while still preserving their musical heritage.
“If you’ve never been to a Music at LiU concert before, you’ve missed concerts performed with commitment,” says Jakob Grubbström, director musices at Linköping University.
Whether it’s the student choirs, the chamber choir or the orchestra, the participants are all students, alumni or employees who show incredible commitment. They also get to sing and play with professionals, which produces an exciting meeting that benefits all parties.
“You can look forward to discovering a wide range of concerts with student fun, serious choral singing and a stage orchestra. During the autumn, for example, the Swedish première of Shared Ground by Alec Roth and the stage orchestra concert accompanied by visual magic will leave no one untouched. But this autumn is as full of content as usual and shouldn’t be missed, just like all Music at LiU semesters,” concludes Jakob Grubbström.
