    Concert Information

    For Carl Nielsen, everything about life was worth celebrating. A country walk, a set of cartoons on the wall of an inn somehow bubbled up into the exuberant The Four Temperaments. Nielsen’s Second might just be the happiest symphony of the 20th century; but what’s certain is that his explosive, elemental Fifth is one of the very greatest.
