Edvard Grieg remains a perennial favorite among audiences and performers alike – admired for his beautiful melodies and rich orchestral color so inspired by his native Norway. As much as any composer he embodied the best qualities of musical “nationalism” in the 19th century. This concert features many of his most well-known orchestral and piano works.
