Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra
Bergen Philharmonic OrchestraPresented by Saffron Hall
The Bergen Philharmonic makes an eagerly-anticipated first UK tour with its new maestro (ex-ENO Music Director) Edward Gardner, in a partnership which marries their clean glowing sound with his charismatic passion and drive. The programme explores the roots of their musical relationship, and includes Elgar’s iconic Cello Concerto, performed by the magnificent young cellist Leonard Elschenbroich; a Norwegian suite brilliantly evoking the landscape of Scandinavia; and Bartók’s fiery orchestral showcase, which gives both the conductor and individual members of the ensemble tremendous opportunities to shine.
This concert will finish at approximately 4.45pm.
