PROGRAMME:
Edvard GRIEG Piano Concerto in A minor and Norwegian Dances

In the latest chapter of the concert series Symphonic Hit with Goran Gora, we will dive into the music that introduced people around the world to the unique values of Norwegian culture. Although composer Edvard Grieg honed his skills in Germany, his life's work was dedicated to Norway's untamed nature, extraordinary mythological characters, or simple everyday life and capturing them in musical notation. Together with the romantic style of expression of the 19th century, this has translated into a novel, colourful musical language, unusual rhythmic patterns, and brilliant compositions that continue to live on the world's stages to this day.
