National Day celebrations at Helsingborg Concert Hall:
On June 6 at 15:30, Helsingborg Concert Hall invites you to a festive and inclusive National Day concert with Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra. For the first time, we celebrate National Day with a concert in our own house, where tradition meets contemporary Helsingborgs stad – a city characterized by diversity, community and different stories. The program moves through well-known, beloved orchestral music and classical favorites, with elements of sing-along and choral singing. Among the participants are members of several of Helsingborg’s fine choirs, a children’s choir and also this year’s cultural grant recipient, opera singer Emilia Lindberg.
