The opening concert of ERSO’s new series Myths and Legends invites audiences into the powerful story of Kullervo, the tragic hero from Finnish folklore. This dramatic tale, brought to life through the music of Jean Sibelius, will be performed by the Estonian National Male Choir and soloists Andrew Foster-Williams and Tuuri Dede, under the baton of conductor Matthew Halls. The program also includes Sibelius’ orchestral ballad The Wood Nymph, based on Viktor Rydberg’s poem about a young man enticed by a mysterious forest spirit.
