Andris Nelsons, conductor
Ross Jamie Collins and Na’Zir McFadden, Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellows
Benjamin Grosvenor, piano
SIBELIUS Finlandia
GRIEG Piano Concerto
-Intermission-
GRIEG Holberg Suite
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 7
Andris Nelsons and our two summer 2024 Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellows share this concert of Norwegian and Finnish works. British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor performs the Norwegian Edvard Grieg’s fiery Piano Concerto, paired with the composer’s delightful Holberg Suite, based on Baroque dances. Jean Sibelius composed Finlandia pointedly to elevate Finnish national feeling, and it succeeded wonderfully, becoming one of his most popular works. His late single-movement Seventh Symphony is the ultimate expression of his personal musical language.
Pre-concert Talk
The November 29 performance will include a pre-concert talk starting at 12:15pm with music and culture historian Lucy Caplan.
