SUMMARY:Kluxen & Hetherington – Beethoven Symphony No. 7
DESCRIPTION:A festive Danish curtain-raiser by Friedrich Kuhlau (Beethoven’s contemporary and a composer central to Denmark’s musical identity) sets the tone for a season that celebrates place and belonging in a time when national songs resonate more than ever. Berlioz\, another nineteenth-century visionary who expanded the orchestra’s expressive range\, turns that brightness inward with Les Nuits d’été\, a tender farewell to summer sung by mezzo-soprano Alex Hetherington. Britta Byström’s A Walk to Beethoven\, commissioned by Christian Kluxen during his Arctic Philharmonic tenure\, answers across time with a luminous bridge leading naturally into Beethoven’s radiant Seventh Symphony—a “celebration of humanity being unworried and free.”

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Pouliot – Dvořák’s New World Symphony & Sibelius Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Heino Eller’s Dawn captures both the first light of day and the awakening of Estonian national identity after World War I. Sibelius’s Violin Concerto\, lyrical and vast\, reflects the mystery of the landscape that shaped him\, here brought to life by the brilliant Canadian violinist Blake Pouliot. Dvořák’s New World Symphony\, written during his stay in America\, weaves homesickness and discovery into one of the most beloved works in all symphonic literature.
