Join Seattle Modern Orchestra in a concert featuring living composers from Norway. From Rebecka Sofia Ahvenniemi's mystic sounds to Lasse Thoresen's meditation on hagen ("garden"); Knut Vaage's epic Odyssé, a re-composing of Grieg Op. 54; to the kaleidoscopic piano trio SVEV; this concert offers a vast array of Norwegian contemporary music. We will be joined by the renowned Valen Trio from Norway, soprano Laura Loge, composer Knut Vaage, and conductor Julia Tai. The concert is in collaboration with Northwest Edvard Grieg Society and Music Exchange International.
