Kördelux has been given the opportunity to perform in concert with some of the finest musicians in Sweden, Svenska Kammarorkestern (Swedish Chamber Orchestra). It's a musical feast, where the choir's unique energy and the professionalism of the orchestra is joined together. The journey towards Kördelux is framed by a pandemic with harsh effects and a political investigation that threatens the professional future of the choir. Has two years of quarantine changed too much or can the choir find their way back to what made them succesful? Have Svenska Kammerorkerstern even understood what they are getting themselves into or is the gap between the two worlds too big?
