Says Stefan Forsberg, Executive and Artistic Director: "The PLAY!-show last June was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! The realization of PLAY! with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is an example showing that the Stockholm Concert Hall is working with new ideas, and steadily looking for new angels on the symphonic repertoire. The PLAY!-concert was a true success and it has affected the organization and the musicians in many ways. We are looking forward to a new adventure!"
