Ulster Orchestra On Your Doorstep: Highlands & Fjords

Mendelssohn Hebrides OvertureSinding Suite in the Old StyleGrieg Selections from Holberg SuiteMendelssohn Symphony No.3 ScottishRolf Verbeek ConductorGongbo Jiang ViolinFelix Mendelssohn fell in love with Scotland on holiday and the resulting musical inspiration produced two of his best-known and loved works, the Hebrides Overture and his Third Symphony, nicknamed Scottish.

From his depiction of the sea around the coast and even a bit of Hibernian thunder, both evocatively depict the dramatic scenery of Scotland.From the Scottish Highlands to the Norwegian Fjords.

Grieg’s Holberg Suite is dancing and utterly delightful, while Ulster Orchestra violinist Gongbo Jiang is soloist in Christian Sinding’s lyrical Suite in the Old Style.
