    Gageego!’s 30th anniversary in the spring issue of 2025

    “It is hard to imagine better performances of these demanding works.” This is how critic Love Carbin summed up Gageego!’s 30th anniversary celebration in Stenhammarsalen earlier this year.

    On February 9, Gageego! and Gothenburg Concert Hall marked the ensemble’s 30th anniversary with an exhibition and concert in Stenhammarsalen.

    The magazine Nutida Musik notes that the works by Pierre Boulez, Carola Bauckholt, Madeleine Isaksson, Esaias Järnegard, Per Mårtensson, Djuro Zivkovic, Simon Løffler, Stuart Saunders Smith, Edgar Varèse and Joakim Sandgren collectively constitute a marathon-long challenge for the audience – but one that rewards them richly:

    “On the stage in Stenhammarsalen, a collage of widely different works is presented, performed with a dedication that testifies to the ensemble’s unique position in Swedish musical life.”

    The Final Event

    For almost three years, the EU project MuseIT has been working on tools and methods that focus on making culture accessible and enjoyable for all, using innovative methods to broaden access to cultural assets regardless of disabilities, while preserving cultural heritage in an inclusive way. Now, as the project comes to an end, the project invites participants to a two-day celebration where they can experience MuseIT’s exciting results up close.

    This two-day event will feature inspiring presentations, interactive demonstrations, and a unique inclusive co-creation music concert that brings MuseIT’s vision to life.

    Gageego! will perform during a co-creation concert together with ShareMusic’s ensemble Elefantöra.

    After the concert, the musicians will remain for conversations until the end of the day (5:00 PM).

    June 17, 2025: Pilot 2

    In June, Pilot 2 will be presented, focusing on co-creating music at a distance: “Beyond Latency: Co-Creating Music Across Distance” with Sophia Alexandersson and Nigel Osborne from ShareMusic & Performing Arts together with Gageego!

    The event is being held digitally with participants from both Sweden and other parts of the world, but can also be followed on site in the Balder building, University of Borås (only for pre-registered participants).

    – We develop technology and methodology to broaden access to and participation in cultural assets for everyone, regardless of functional variation, says Nasrine Olson, project manager for MuseIT, and associate professor and assistant professor at the Faculty of Librarianship, Information, Education and IT.

    – When we produce multidimensional information, this is not only interesting for people with functional variation, but for everyone. For example, in a painting depicting rain, music, haptic sensation or other sensory impressions can enhance the experience of the rain.

    September 2 – 3, 2025: The Final Event

    The first week of September it is time for the final symposium of the project. The event is shared between Borås and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg.
