Norrköping Symphony Orchestra

A special place in the region's cultural life, an international reputation, a rich history and a bold future.

Norrköping Symphony Orchestra

Since 1912

The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra has the reputation of being one of the most exciting orchestras in Scandinavia. German conductor Karl-Heinz Steffens is Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor since the season of 2020-2021. Norrköping Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1912 and is today comprised of 85 musicians. Through its long and rich history it maintains a special place in the region’s cultural life. The orchestra’s main repertoire consists of the great romantic era composers from Beethoven to Mahler but it is just as important to perform 20th century music and Swedish/Nordic music. The orchestra’s two principal venues are The Louis De Geer Concert Hall in Norrköping, and the Crusell Concert Hall in Linköping.
