NVSO kicks off the 2019-20 concert season with an evening of music that evokes the misty fjords, rugged mountains and deep forests of Scandinavia with their “A Scandinavian Tour” concert, Saturday, October 19, 7:00 p.m. at North Canyon High School Performing Arts Center, 1700 E. Union Hills Drive, Phoenix, 85024.
Travel to Scandinavian countries without even leaving Phoenix, with masterpieces that include Svendsen’s Two Swedish Folksongs (Sweden), Nielsen’s Helios Overture (Denmark), Sibelius’ Karelia Suite, Op. 11 (Finland), and Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite #1 and #2 (Norway). This concert may entice you to book your next vacation to Scandinavia!
NVSO’s Music Director Kevin Kozacek says that, “…audience members will recognize a number of the melodies in this concert, especially those from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites. ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ is a long-time favorite, as well as the haunting melody of ‘Anitra’s Dance’. The orchestra members are really looking forward to performing this concert for our community.”
