Cellist Inez Karlsson is predicted to have a bright future as a soloist. After winning Polstjärnepriset 2023, she performed with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in front of 20,000 audience members on Sweden’s National Day and at the opening of the Swedish Parliament alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Now, she is holding her Winner’s Concert in Vänersborg, where she performs solo, in a duo, and as a soloist with the orchestra. In addition to Inez, Polstjärnepriset’s participants will also contribute with chamber music and as part of the orchestra.
