Mendelssohn’s evocative Scottish Symphony caps this concert which also features brand new music inspired by Maggi Hambling’s art as she marks her eightieth year, alongside the exuberant Dances of Galánta by Kodály.

ECHO Rising Stars with Soprano

Stockholm Concert Hall

For the first time, Iceland, with the Harpa in Reykjavik, is participating in the European Concert Hall Organization's annual "Rising Stars" program, which sends young artists on tour through the continent's major concert halls. And with Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir, a singer from the Nordic island nation was directly nominated. She loves the poetic, mystical traditions of her country and is currently performing brilliantly not only on the major opera stages in Basel and Berlin, but also realizing unusual projects as a photographer and video artist.
