The concert starts with a piece by Estonian Ester Mägi, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 99. She would have turned 100 years old in January 2022. Over time, her music has garnered increasing international attention. Vesper for String Orchestra was composed in 1990 (revised in 1998) and is a tender-hearted and melodic piece of music. As is often the case in her work, one detects the inspiration of folk music.

Finally, Finnish Dalia Stasevska leads the orchestra in Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3. She debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017 and in recent seasons, she has gained more and more international attention. Rachmaninoff’s third symphony begins with a melodic signature that recurs in various forms through each movement. The music bears many of Rachmaninoff’s musical traits, such as heartfelt melodies, powerful intensification and romantic passion.
