Einojuhani Rautavaara: Spelemenn, Op. 1 (1952)
Ola Kvernberg: Deriva perpetua (2026)
John Adams: Tromba lontana (1986)
Igor Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements (1942–1945)

This concert is driven by pulse, color, and narrative joy.
There is Nordic folk music-inspired energy from Rautavaara and newly composed music by Kvernberg,
performed by the composer himself together with the orchestra and Ragnhild Hemsing.
Furthermore, we will hear a subdued, spatial fanfare by Adams that opens up the ear and the space, before the evening finally explodes into a symphony with razor-sharp rhythms.
