“Bridging Generations” explores the conversation between past and present musical composers, and between the established orchestra and young musicians entering their solo careers. While new music by living composers Maya Mira Johnsen, Mathilde Grooss Viddal, and Donnacha Dennehy are performed by the Arctic Philharmonic Sinfonietta, a new generation breathes fresh life into classical masterworks by Chopin and Grieg, creating a dynamic exchange across time.

Donnacha Dennehy - Land of Winter (December-January-February)
Maya Miro Johnson - Lynchiana
Mathilde Grooss Viddal - Snø
Fréderéric Chopin - Fantaisie, Op. 49
Edvard Grieg - Violin Sonata No. 3, Op. 45
