Electric Guitar Through Fire & Water, a bold new concert film that spotlights the electrifying fusion of a soaring electric guitar with the full power of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. Lead the experience through the premiere composition “Geisterkonzert” by American composer Ming Tsao, whose music dissolves traditional symphonic boundaries to transport listeners into a free, evocative sonic landscape that invites reflection and wonder. Magnus Andersson delivers a virtuosic solo performance as the guitar becomes the star, while conductor Brad Lubman leads the orchestra with dynamic precision.

After the intermission, immerse yourself in Igor Stravinsky’s legendary “Suite from The Firebird” (1919), a dazzling blend of Russian folk motifs and fairy-tale drama that culminates in the triumphant, shimmering finale of the Firebird’s magic. This film offers concert-goers a fresh, adventurous take on the classical genre, celebrating the unprecedented power of symphonic collaboration and electric guitar in one unforgettable cinematic experience.
