WSO in Brandon: Vikingur Plays Grieg

November 2, 2014 3:00 PM
Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium 
205 20th Street 
Brandon, MB

Kenley Kristofferson: Morgun
Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor
Nielsen: Symphony No. 4 “The Inextinguishable”

Alexander Mickelthwate - conductor
Vikingur Olafsson - piano

The opening notes of Grieg’s Piano Concerto introduce a romantic musical journey that has placed this work among the most beloved of all. Exciting young Icelander Vikingur Olafsson will reveal its treasures as we close our week-long Nordic Festival. Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s Fourth Symphony is a triumph for timpani, and an incredibly exciting orchestral display. Manitoba composer Kenley Kristofferson’s Morgun honours the 125th anniversary of Manitoba’s Icelandic community in Gimli.
