Sometimes, the guest artist dictates the program… and that is precisely the case in this concert of Scandinavian greats led by Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann.
Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia is a symphonic mega-hit emblematic of the nationalism so often found in his music.
The Norwegian Dances by Edvard Grieg are athletic, boisterous, and charming folk-inspired numbers that will surely get everyone feeling the groove.
Like his contemporary Gustav Mahler, Carl Nielsen of Denmark was both a great symphonic conductor and a great symphonic composer. Written during the First World War and dubbed “The Inextinguishable,” Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 is a powerful and grand work, expressive of the indomitable human spirit.
(Saturday only) To round out the program, a musical trip to Canada with the music of Vincent Ho, with whom Rune Bergmann worked closely at the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. A name that may also be familiar to Winnipeggers, Ho previously served as WSO’s Composer-in-Residence.
