Experience the passion, colour, and sweeping landscapes of Norway in GRIEGFEST, a vibrant celebration of the music of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. At the heart of the program is Grieg’s iconic Piano Concerto in A minor, a work beloved for its thunderous opening, lyrical beauty, and electrifying virtuosity. We are thrilled to welcome back acclaimed pianist and Artistic Director of OPUS Chamber Music Kevin Ahfat as soloist, whose expressive depth and brilliance bring new life to this cornerstone of the repertoire.

Surrounding the concerto, the orchestra explores Grieg’s rich musical world, from intimate, folk-inspired lyricism to dramatic orchestral textures, capturing the spirit of a composer who gave voice to a national identity while creating music that speaks universally. Join us for an unforgettable evening of intensity, elegance, and Nordic brilliance at GRIEGFEST.
