GWO ́s home venue is Gothenburg ́s oldest secular building “The Crown house” (1654), where concerts are performed all year round. In addition, the orchestra tours the Gothenburg region, occasionally also abroad.

GWO ́s repertoire is a mix of classical and jazz concerts, colourful collaborations with stars from entertainment and an array of productions for children, youngsters as well as for families.
