Songs Of Travel 8.8. - Main concert 1pm

For the main concert of the year, the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra take us on a journey through the music of three composers. Young rising star baritone Gabriel Kivivuori Sereno interperts Vaughan Williams’ touchingly beautiful Songs of Travel, which ask us to consider how our travels shape us. The program is opened with a piece by Kalevi Aho that has influences from as far as Japan and Tunisia, and the second half features Mendelssohn’s Symphony no. 3, which was inspired by a trip to Scotland.
