Memories- the voice of Barbra Streisand

A tribute concert where nostalgia and musical brilliance meet – and where every note carries a story.

Powerful singing, well-known melodies, and the strength of Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker come together in a warm and personal tribute to Barbra Streisand. Together with the soloist Malena Tuvung and conductor Mats Hålling, you will experience music from a beloved repertoire – performed with presence, nuances, and an expression that makes each song come alive again.

Barbra Streisand’s music has accompanied several generations and encompasses both great drama and intimate, personal stories. At the center of the concert is Malena Tuvung, who interprets the music with her own voice and expression. It’s not about imitating Barbra Streisand’s iconic voice, but about embracing the emotions and stories of the songs and letting them meet the audience anew. In her interpretations, there is room for both strong emotional outbursts, restraint, and closeness.

With a sense of balance, tempo, and expression, Mats Hålling leads the interplay between soloist and orchestra. Under his direction, Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker creates a musical entirety where the song and orchestra carry the story together. The large orchestra parts gain power and breadth, while the more intimate moments can emerge with warmth and clarity.

The meeting between Malena Tuvung and Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker makes the concert special. Here, nostalgia, personal expression, and musical brilliance are united – and well-known songs take on new colors through the nuanced tones of the wind orchestra.

The concert is suitable for those who appreciate Barbra Streisand, powerful singing, beautiful melodies, and great orchestral experiences. It’s also for those who are curious about Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker or want to try a concert in the Crusell series for the first time. You don’t need to be familiar with the music in advance to partake in the atmosphere and stories.

Feel free to share the experience with a partner, friend, parent, grown child, or colleague. Of course, you’re just as welcome to come alone and let the music be the center.

Welcome to a warm and grand concert where Barbra Streisand’s music meets Malena Tuvung’s personal expression and the full power of Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker.
