A cosmos of neo-impressionist sound mobiles, tangibly visual in their floating imagery. Recorded in concert, the sound engineering vibrantly mirrors the creative experience.

The artists
Malmö Symphony Orchestra
The Malmö Symphony Orchestra (MSO) was founded in Malmö in 1925 and has been operating as purely a symphony orchestra since 1991. Prior to this, it occupied the dual role of being both the city's opera and symphony orchestra. At Malmö Live Concert Hall the MSO presents a rich and varied selection of concerts that are enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic audience. The MSO consists of approximately 90 full-time professional musicians from around 17 different countries (as of 2017). The orchestra performs at a high international level, and with a new concert every week it excels in providing a rich and varied selection of concerts. International opera stars such as Juan Diego Flórez and Dmitri Hvorostovksy have performed highly praised concerts together with MSO at Malmö Live.
