BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 2
 
An exciting new work by Swedish composer Anders Hillborg opens this program with a Scandinavian theme. Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu leads Beethoven’s familiar and wonderfully lyrical Violin Concerto, in which the composer reveals his more sensitive side. In contrast, Sibelius’s stormy and dramatic Symphony No. 2 evokes the arctic winds, eerie lakes and shimmering twilight of the Finnish landscape.
