What's Interesting
- Familiar, beautiful and astonishingly fun—that’s Peer Gynt. This is music you know and love, like the famously electric In The Hall of The Mountain King.
- The concert-staged production features the May Festival Chorus, actors and spellbinding soprano Camilla Tilling.
- Violinist Pekka Kuusisto performs the Bjarnason concerto; the perfect vehicle for his playful, funny and effortlessly virtuosic style.
What Critics Are Saying
“Pekka Kuusisto was outstanding in the New York premiere of Daníel Bjarnason’s Violin Concerto. The piece and performance were both incredible works of art unlike anything I have witnessed. [...] He is truly a performer extraordinaire.”
—The Strad
“Kuusisto is a one-of-a-kind violin player – supple, lyrical, virtuosic and intensely personal all at the same time. [...] The performance was balanced, expressive and thrilling, just as you hope music can be.”
—The Globe and Mail
