n this series of chamber music concerts, the audience will encounter members of the orchestra in a format that differs from the familiar orchestral pit. On four weekends this season the orchestra performs in smaller groups, giving audiences an opportunity to get closer to the musicians.
The Saturday afternoon concerts represent the Norwegian National Opera Orchestra's own chamber music series, with the musicians performing their favourite music.
THE NORWEGIAN NATIONAL OPERA ORCHESTRA AFTERNOON CONCERTS: CELEBRATING 150 YEARS FROM THE NORDIC REGION
14 November 2015 / Second House
The great Danish composer Carl Nielsen and Finnish national symbol Jean Sibelius were both born 150 years ago, making 2015 one of the truly important anniversary years. The Norwegian National Opera Orchestra celebrates with a chamber music concert featuring both composers.
Nielsen's masterly Wind Quintet and charming Serenata in vano forms the first part of the concert, before the Sibelius's Finnish waves take over in the beautiful Elegy from the King Christian II Suite.
Sibelius's heartfelt yet grand string quartet, "Voces Intimae" rounds off the performance, featuring a quartet of the orchestra's string players on the stage.
