Concert Information

Before the interval, cellist Jakob Kullberg shares one of Norgard鈥檚 most intimate compositions, Between, exploring the relationship between soloist and orchestra.
Then, after the interval, there鈥檚 Carl Nielsen's rhapsody overture An Imaginary Trip to the Faroe Islands, followed by Maxwell Davies鈥檚, Ebb of Winter, inspired by the ever-changing Orkney weather.
The concert concludes with The Oceanides, Sibelus鈥檚 tone poem for orchestra, denoting the nymphs in Greek mythology who inhabited the Mediterranean Sea.
