Friday, March 4, 2011
4:00 PM & 8:00 PM

Experience the soaring majesty of two of Tchaikovsky's lovely lyric and virtuosic showpieces and "Valse Triste" by Sibelius for violin and orchestra played by the ACO's own Concertmaster Leonid Sigal.

Enjoy the discovery of the music of their friends and contemporaries. The delightful little Praeludium by Sibelius's brother-in-law Armas Jårnefelt will be familiar to many listeners even though you may not recognize his name. The folksy Pastoral Suite by Lars-Erik Larsson tops the classical charts as the most popular piece of Swedish classical music written in the last 100 years.

Absorb the deeply spiritual Silouns Song and discover why Arvo Pårt has become a cult figure for younger music lovers from diverse musical backgrounds, while the sprightly and lyrical Symphony #4 by Niels Gade (friend of Mendelssohn and teacher of Edvard Grieg) is one of the gems of 19th century Danish music.
