Et knippe av Edvard Griegs mest populære verk og sanger står på programmet når orkesteret inviterer til den første av årets sommerkonserter i Nygårdsparken.

Ingunn Korsgård Hagen innleder kveldens sommerkonsert med velkjente toner fra Griegs eviggrønne Holbergsuite og Norsk dans nr. 2, sistnevnte ikke minst kjent som kjenningsmelodien til Norge Rundt.

Det er nå en godt etablert tradisjon at en av orkesterets sommerkonserter vies byens egen komponist, Edvard Grieg. Nygårdsparken, hvor Grieg selv arrangerte en stor musikkfest i 1898, skaper en nydelig og grønn ramme rundt årets konsert.

Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates the city’s most famous son and Norway’s most enduringly popular musician, Edvard Grieg.

Grieg was one of the leading composers of the Romantic era and the man who gave Norway its musical voice. Grieg was born in Bergen, raised in Bergen and died in Bergen. The distinctive landscapes of the west coast of Norway never left the composer and permeated his music - from the echo and ‘distance’ effects in his concert works to the mountain legends and trolls of Peer Gynt.

Grieg’s music for orchestra is thrilling, embracing and refreshing, but it was also strikingly original in its time, exerting a huge influence on composers including the modernist Frenchman Claude Debussy.

Bergen’s own orchestra, of which Grieg was once Artistic Director, has made the composer’s music its own and leads this celebration of the magic and brilliance of an artist who will always be inseparable from the city.
