University Symphony Orchestra with Svend Rønning, Guest Soloist
This concert is part of the focus this fall at PLU on Scandinavian Music, and feature works by three different composers, including Swedish composer Karin Rehnqvist, who will be in residence on the PLU campus for that program. The program will open with one of the concert suites from Edvard Grieg's incidental music for Peer Gynt. It will continue with the colorful and evocative Rehnqvist work, ARKTIS ARKTIS!, inspired by a month that the composer spent on an ice break above the Arctic circle in northern Canada. The concert will close with monumental Violin Concerto by Jean Sibelius, with Svend Rønning as soloist.
