Henrik Lillsjö comes directly from a job as former CEO and concert manager at Vara concert hall to Uppsala concert and congress.

What do you want to make a mark on Uppsala's cultural life?

- It remains to be seen a little, but above all I want the UKK to become a place for all Uppalabor and a place where Uppsala meets, says Henrik Lillsjö.

Closed until August

Right now, it is tough for the cultural sector in connection with the corona pandemic and its consequences. The UKK will remain closed to public activity until Sunday 31 July. But Henrik Lillsjö looks positively on the future.

- Above all, it is a chance and a new start to start something new for the future. We have all the possibilities with the nice house and the fantastic staff that I understand are already here. We can build something big and nice for the future.
