We’re off to the wilds of Scandinavia! Northern Lights, midnight sun and a smorgasbord of Nordic greats. Chief Conductor John Storgårds has a natural affinity with this music and is the dedicatee of tonight’s opener, the thrilling, most recent symphony of Danish composer Per Nørgård, a mind-bending kaleidoscope for large orchestra. Sorgårds has been called a “master architect” of this great symphonist, as revealed in his recorded cycle of all the symphonies with the orchestra.

Grieg’s Piano Concerto

The Bridgewater Hall

Once again, General Music Director Simon Gaudenz opens a symphony concert of the Jena Philharmonic with a surprise piece: This time, the 'secret national anthem' of a country that today hosts, among other things, the annual air guitar world championship will be played. Once enthusiastically received by piano god Franz Liszt as well as by the audience at the premiere, Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor op. 16, composed in 1868, is still one of the most popular works of the genre today.

The program begins with Glinka’s heroic and exuberant Ruslan & Lyudmila Overture followed by Florence Price’s heartfelt Andante moderato.
