Youth grows into experience. Pianist Marie-Ange Nguci, “one the most promising talents of her generation,” according to Le Figaro, makes her North American concerto debut. She brings a youthful spirit to Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto, music of an ambitious teenager. Finnish conductor John Storgårds leads us into the Nordic woods. The SLSO’s strings seduce us in Jean Sibelius’ The Lover, and then give shade in Per Nørgård’s Glade. Sibelius’s final symphony, the Seventh, leads us from dark forest into shining light.

The remarkable threads connecting three generations of composers are illuminated in their music and letters to one another.

Inspirations: Letters/Legacies

Davies Symphony Hall

A THELAS is relaunching the popular concert format Brand New Tuesdays, where the ensemble's musicians perform works written for smaller constellations over three evenings in a season. The small crews allow ATHELAS' musicians to create a more intimate and informal space between the musicians and the audience and at the same time unfold themselves in an extra equilibristic way on their instruments. Initially, it applies to the wind quintet, which demonstrates the many facets of the wind through a very varied and versatile program.

Brand New Tuesdays

The concert church

In the concert series Danske dialoger, ATHELAS commissions a new work from a Danish composer, who at the same time selects a work by another composer that has had a special meaning for them. This time it applies to Peter Bruun and his new work But always as it should be , which is performed in collaboration with the cellist Carl-Oscar Østerlind. Bruun has chosen Per Nørgård's Night-Symphonies, Day Breaks (1992). Hear why when Peter Bruun himself presents the new work as part of the concert and justifies the choice of Nørgård.

Peter Bruun & Per Nørgård

Musikhuset København

With both Mahler's overwhelming last symphony and Per Nørgård's transparent and light-filled violin concerto with a Danish super talent as soloist, Copenhagen Phil is preparing for an unforgettable concert with music from both the beginning and the end of the 20th century.
