Nord & Süd

Fürst Pückler Park

Norway fascinates with its breathtaking fjords, untouched nature, and majestic expanses. But it's not just the country's scenic beauty that enchants; Norwegian music also offers a true treasure trove of dazzling and impressive sounds and melodies. Together with the Ensemble Barokkanerne, Norwegian violinist Ragnhild Hemsing will unfold the timeless beauty of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" this evening, while Norwegian folk music will fill the evening with mystical sounds and melancholic longing. As part of the Norwegian Night 2023, Ragnhild Hemsing already demonstrated that she can lend both the violin and the traditional Hardanger fiddle a moving voice that reveals the soul of Nordic music. In this concert, the audience can expect a unique combination of elegant Baroque and Nordic tradition – a world in which music reaches deep into the human experience.

Norwegian Night

Eberbach Abbey

In 1926, Düsseldorf opened what was then the world's largest planetarium. Exactly 100 years later, we celebrate this with music that reaches as far into the heavens as it does into the depths of human emotion. The spectacular opening is Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1, which impressively demonstrates the unimaginable range of musical languages ​​that can span between nostalgic retrospection and passionate anticipation of the future. Edvard Grieg's popular Peer Gynt Suites then take you on an "elegiac expedition" where you witness a sunrise that, since its composition, has confidently been considered the most magnificent example since the birth of mankind. And because Peer Gynt never completely leaves his Norwegian homeland, original sounds from the north resound with Ragnhild Hemsing's Hardanger fiddle. Gordon Hamilton – Green Monday audience favorite – composed a rousing concerto for her, the premiere of which perfectly rounds off the concert.
