3. Tausk & Sibelius’ 1.
Commissioning new works and thereby helping to renew classical music is a matter close to the heart of the DR Symphony Orchestra. This evening's first performance is signed by Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen, a deeply personal voice in the Danish composer milieu, whose musical directness and skinless, intense works have made a great impression on listeners and artists alike.

4. Popelka & Smetana
Smetana's great tone poem My Fatherland a musical introduction to Czech culture and history. It begins at Vyšehrad Castle, the old seat of the Bohemian kings, and continues along the great Vltava River that flows below the old castle. In the last movement, the magical mountain Blanik is depicted, which contains a sleeping army. When the need is greatest, the sleeping knights will wake up and save the Czech Republic from the enemy.

5. Blomstedt & Beethovens 7.
The legendary Herbert Blomstedt returns. As Honorary
Conductor, his interpretations let the music speak from the
heart, revealing deeply personal beauty. Now he's back
with Beethoven's divinely dancing Symphony No. 7. After

your heart has grown a little bigger.”

6. Kuusisto & Ravel
Musical storytelling joy is one of the characteristics of this evening's conductor, Finnish Pekka Kuusisto. In the evening's masterpiece Mother Goose Tales, the French composer Maurice Ravel gives a new and resonant form to fairy tales by the author Charles Perrault, where figures such as Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast appear in Ravel's unmistakably glittering orchestral attire.

7. Ollikainen & Sibelius’ 2.
As chief conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, the conductor Eva Ollikainen has a close relationship with the Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Much of Thorvaldsdottir's music is inspired by Iceland's unique nature and the natural forces that bubble up to the surface there. Catamorphosis is a work torn between opposing forces: the natural and the unnatural, utopia and dystopia, disaster and hope.

8. Hannigan & Girl Crazy
Barbara Hannigan is a musician and artist who is not afraid to go her own way. The music she performs, both as conductor and singer – and not least when she does both at the same time – cuts across eras and genres. The evening's program begins thoughtfully, but ends with an exuberant cornucopia of musical energy.
