[20] On 5 January 2023 the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam hosted the world premiere of the clarinet concerto Weathered, by the British composer Anna Clyne, who lives in the United States, with Fröst as soloist, performance time: 27 minutes.

[21][2] Every two to three years since 2013 Fröst has staged a project in which he works as clarinetist, conductor, lyricist, "master of ceremony",[10][31] actor and occasionally as a dancer.

At Dollhouse, compositions by Göran Fröst, Paul Dukas, Bent Sörensen, Manuel de Falla and Anders Hillborg, as well as choreography and light, became one unit.

1:35 h.[32] The artist says on his website: "Dollhouse is very much about liberation, both in its physical and symbolical form, about the invisible threads that hold us to the earth, tie us together and can wear away.

A year late due to the pandemic, the project, originally Exodus, came on stage under the name "XODUS (The Way Out Lies Within)" on 5 May 2022 at Stockholm's Konserthuset with the participation of more than 100 people and live painting on a large screen, performance time about 75 minutes.

Fröst performed as a clarinetist, conductor of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and a chamber choir,[42] and again as "master of ceremonies."

Konserthuset has posted a video of the performance online,[43] as well as a brief introduction indicating all the music titles arranged for this work.

These include compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms, Giuseppe Verdi and Béla Bartók on the one hand, on the other hand, contemporary pieces by the Swedish composers Hans Ek, Anders Hillborg, Goran Fröst, Annamaria Kowalsky, as well as an arrangement of traditional pieces by the Spanish clarinettist and arranger Alberto Álvarez García.

"[42] In 2019, Fröst set up a foundation whose goal is to give children and young people in Sweden and other countries the opportunity to receive music lessons and access to instruments.
