Skills & Requirements

Berwaldhallen is part of the Swedish Radio and thereby shares the same common values: independency, reliability, openness and innovativeness. Berwaldhallen is the home of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Choir. Through concerts and tours around the world as well as through recordings we have become important ambassadors for Swedish music and culture, both nationally and internationally. Our ensembles attract the foremost conductors and soloists, including Music Director Andrés Orozco-Estrada and Chief conductor of the Radio choir Kaspars Putniņš. As one of us, whether you are a musician or work in an administrative function, you will be involved in promoting the highest possible artistic quality, with a passion for the new and love of the classical. An interest in contemporary music is clearly reflected in the repertoire. Swedish composers are regularly commissioned, and the maintenance and promotion of the Swedish orchestra repertoire is an important goal of our program planning. We also collaborate with Swedish pop stars and give concerts for children in an aim to broaden the audience base. The orchestra plays a vital role in the well-established Baltic Sea Festival.
