Side by Side 2026 was a fantastic celebration of music, bringing together around 2,000 young musicians and singers from many countries in Gothenburg, Sweden. Throughout the week, participants took part in rehearsals, concerts, workshops, and unforgettable musical experiences, creating new friendships and sharing their passion for music in a truly international atmosphere.
A major highlight was the massive Festival Concert, held on 16 June at Scandinavium, where all participants came together for a powerful and inspiring performance.
Side by Side concluded with the spectacular Closing Concert, where the talent, dedication, and enthusiasm of the participants shone on stage. We are pleased to share the video of this special concert and celebrate the achievements of all the musicians involved.
