“Bridging Generations” explores the conversation between past and present musical composers, and between the established orchestra and young musicians entering their solo careers. While new music by living composers Maya Mira Johnsen, Mathilde Groos Viddal, and Donnacha Dennehy are performed by the Arctic Philharmonic Sinfonietta, a new generation breathes fresh life into classical masterworks by Chopin and Grieg, creating a dynamic exchange across time.

Music:

Donnacha Dennehy – Land of Winter (December-January-February)
Maya Mira Johnsen – Lynchiana
Mathilde Groos Viddal – Snø

Fréderéric Chopin – Fantaisie, Op. 49
Edvard Grieg – Violin Sonata No. 3, Op. 45

Artists:

Johan Dalene (violin)
Sebastian Svenøy (piano)
Christian Eggen (conductor)
Arctic Philharmonic Sinfonietta
