Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts Sibelius' Fifth Symphony

Rolf Wallin has pushed boundaries throughout his career, and now we are invited to the world premiere of his new commissioned work for the Oslo Philharmonic. The programme also includes Anders Hillborg's Violin Concerto No. 2 with Ava Bahari as soloist. The evening concludes with Sibelius's beloved Symphony No. 5.

This concert brings together three composers who, each in their own way, have explored the boundaries of music. The programme paints a picture of how composers from different eras have sought inspiration in everything from mathematical formulas and jazz and rock to the rhythms of nature and the flight of birds across Finnish forests. From the boundary-breaking Norwegian who combines algorithms with rock influences, through the Swedish explorer of sonorities who lets Bach meet modern virtuosity, to the Finnish master who transformed encounters with nature into timeless symphonic music.
