High-flying Finn, John Storg氓rds, conducts the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in an exciting concert of Scandinavian and Russian music.

Grieg actually disliked Ibsen鈥檚 Peer Gynt, but for a production of the play he composed some of his most inspired and best-known music 鈥� including 鈥楳orning鈥� and 鈥業n the Hall of the Mountain King鈥�.

Carl Nielsen鈥檚 First Symphony 鈥� a remarkable achievement for a 27 year old composer 鈥� is both distinctively Danish and highly personal in style.

Then a tuneful tribute to the composers of the eighteenth century, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 鈥楻ococo Variations鈥�, here performed by rising star of the cello, Leonard Elschenbroich.

The evening comes to a stirring conclusion with Sibelius鈥� great hymn to his compatriots, Finlandia.
