On October 21-24, 2021, it is time for the next edition of the Eric Ericson Award, perhaps the world’s most prestigious competition for young choir conductors, hosted this time by the Swedish Radio, with event direction by Berwaldhallen, in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, the Rosenborg-Gehrmans Foundation and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

The purpose of the Eric Ericson Award is to identify, encourage and support young and gifted choral conductors in the spirit of Eric Ericson. The award aims to uphold the high artistic and competitive standards established by the late Professor Ericson in his international career. The Eric Ericson Award offers a new generation of choral conductors the gateway to their own international careers.
