Details
The Orchestra welcomes conductor Kristian Sallinen, who’s winning fans by smashing “boundaries with a cheerful sense of humour” (Helsingin Sanomat). Sallinen presents Berg’s hauntingly poetic Violin Concerto, performed by violin virtuoso Alexi Kenney. After intermission, Sallinen brings out the Nordic earthiness of Sibelius for a set of vivid and tuneful tone poems inspired by Finnish folklore. The program opens with a Sibelius-inspired tribute written by Thea Musgrave to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
