About the Performance
Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 “The Inextinguishable” was not named for the symphony itself, but according to Nielsen refers to “the elemental will to live.” Composed during WWI, the piece appeals to a fight for life during a time where so many perished in trenches across Europe. This same elemental will to live persist not only in times of pain, but also during times of joy and struggles towards greatness. Svendsen’s “Norwegian Artist’s Carnival” welcomes listeners into springtime merriment while Sibelius’s Violin Concerto’s technical complexity demands the most of both the soloist and orchestra to bring the concerto to fruition.
Join us for Colorado Springs Philharmonic Pre-Concert talks. Go behind the curtain and inside the score with these 30-minute pre-concert conversations one hour before the concert starts.
