Event Info
Journey north as the Kamuela Philharmonic opens its 2026/27 season with MasterWorks I: Colors of Scandinavia, an exploration of the extraordinary musical landscapes of Finland and Norway.
The program begins with Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s spirited Divertimento, followed by one of the most beloved works of the Romantic repertoire: Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring special guest pianist Dr. Thomas Yee. Filled with sweeping melodies, dramatic contrasts, and unmistakable Nordic character, Grieg’s concerto has captivated audiences since its premiere.
The journey continues to Finland with Jean Sibelius’ monumental Symphony No. 2, a work that grows from an intimate opening into a soaring, triumphant finale.
From vibrant orchestral color to breathtaking Romantic expression, Colors of Scandinavia launches the season with music as dramatic and expansive as the landscapes that inspired it.
