The gigantic music camp Side by Side 2026, happening June 12–17 and hosted by Sweden’s Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, is now selling a limited number of tickets for its Festival and Closing Concerts this summer. Many other ensembles will perform, too—check out the range of events.
Also at Side by Side, applications remain open (until slots are filled or until May 8) for the Beginner’s Track in both choir and orchestra (led in Swedish language), designed for students ages 7–10. No experience necessary for the choir, and one semester of instrument instruction required for the orchestra.
