Arctic Philharmonic / Eldbjørg Hemsing / Nicolò Foron

In the organizer's words:

The unique beauty of the Arctic Circle

The world north of the Arctic Circle is unique: endless expanses, majestic mountains and crystal-clear fjords characterize the picture. The Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing has cast these landscapes in music with conductor Nicolò Foron and the Arctic Philharmonic, the northernmost professional orchestra in the world, with the album and concert program "Arctic". Nordic classics such as Grieg and Rautavaara are heard alongside specially written works by film composers such as Frode Fjellheim (title song "Frozen") and Jacob Shea ("Planet Earth II").
