An unexpected encounter

For us, it doesn’t matter whether you play the violin or hockey. In Gävle, worlds that may not seem to have much in common at first glance come together. But when the bow meets the strings or the puck hits the net, something happens. The anticipation, the excitement and the sheer euphoria are the same. It’s the emotions and the experience that bring us together – and in Gävle, there’s room for it all.

 

Different arenas. The same big emotions.

This autumn, you don’t have to choose between unforgettable musical experiences and hockey where emotions run high. Gävle Symphony Orchestra fills the concert hall with music that moves you, while Brynäs invites you to experience new games, new moments and new emotions in the stands. Two completely different arenas – but the same anticipation of being there when it happens.

Hockey or symphony? Adrenaline or precision? The stands or the concert hall? In Gävle, you don’t have to choose. Experiences are always close at hand – and there’s always something more to discover before, after or between the big moments.

Stay for dinner, explore the city or make room for one more experience. Perhaps it’s the one thing you hadn’t planned that you’ll remember best of all.
