This evening takes shape as a journey from the finest nuances of the string sound through the raw energy of the percussion
and on to full symphonic power.
Heino Eller’s Five Pieces for String Orchestra opens with five short movements that present the strings
in a clear and lyrical close-up.
At the center is Ørjan Matre’s Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra.
The evening concludes with Grażyna Bacewicz’s rhythmic and concise Symphony No. 3.
