NORWEGIAN violinist and composer Henning Kraggerud turns the spotlight on some of his homeland’s finest musicians for his debut with the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
The ICO will perform ‘Homelands, A Celebration’ on Friday March 11 at University Concert Hall, Limerick.
Kraggerud’s versatility, boundless technical ability, and genuine passion for music-making makes him a perfect match for the Irish Chamber Orchestra, renowned for its distinctively energetic and virtuosic performances.
“Few artists convey a greater sense of communication and discovery when performing, than Henning Kraggerud, a virtuoso famed for his extraordinary reach as a performer, artistic director, composer, arranger, and improviser.”
The development of music in Norway owes much to the great violinist Ole Bull. His La Melancholia is a gem for violin and string orchestra as arranged by Henning. Svendsen’s emotive Romance is one of his most popular works.
