On 31st July, COE Leader Lorenza Borrani, strings and clarinets take flight to Northern Norway where they join mezzo-soprano Marianne Beate Kielland for the opening concert of the Nordland Music Festival at the Stormen Concert Hall in Bodø on 3rd August. This concert takes the COE further north than we have ever played and it has been many months in the making; a celebration of Bodø being one of the European Capitals of Culture for 2024. They will perform songs by Grieg, Schubert and Mahler as well as Mendelssohn’s Konzertstück No. 2 and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 11 (arranged for string orchestra by Gustav Mahler). This is the Orchestra’s second time in Norway, following concerts with Vilde Frang and Rafael Payare in Oslo and Bergen in 2022.

Gustav Mahler wanted to create a world in his symphonies. Symphony No. 3 is his largest symphony and a powerful vision of unity with nature and the divine. Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts, and the mezzo-soprano Marianne Beate Kielland is the soloist.
