with Elefantöra and Gageego!
2025/11/14 @ 19:00 – 21:00
Listen with big ears when Gageego!, Elefantöra and the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra invite you to a unique sound adventure.
The second Friday Fusion concert of the season truly lives up to its name. The first act opens with Beats, Sounds and Strings, a work by Hans Ek where Elefantöra’s electronic beats, Gageego!’s experimental sounds and the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra’s strings come together in a whole new world of sound. The work, which premiered in 2022, is a musical journey where the modern world of sound meets the acoustic in combination with the depth and sound of the orchestra. Here, the electronic is not an addition but an obvious part of the whole, as important as every instrument on stage. The result is suggestive, rhythmic and beautiful – music that touches the heart and arouses curiosity.
After the intermission, the evening continues with Dance Music Symphony, where Hans Ek brings electronic dance music into the Concert Hall and lets it blossom into symphonic form. The work is based on 17 iconic tracks from three decades of club music – from the pulsating 90s to today’s global dance floors – and is inspired by artists such as Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, The Knife, The Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin. At its center is the rhythmic force – the one that once changed ballet through composers such as Stravinsky, and which is now given new life in the hands of the symphony orchestra. Dance Music Symphony is both a tribute to the club scene and proof of how music can be rebuilt, rethought and grow in new directions.
