Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra: Passionate Romantics
7.11.2025
19.00 - 21.00
Tampere-talo Oy, Yliopistonkatu 55, 33100 Tampere
From Tchaikovsky’s overflowing emotions to Mendelssohn’s virtuoso violin concerto, this evening is dedicated to the heartfelt sounds of Romantic composers.
Julie Røssland, conductor
Henning Kraggerud, violin
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet (Fantasy Overture)
Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto
Johan Svendsen: Symphony No. 1
The Romantics brought human emotions and superhuman skills to new heights. Mendelssohn’s concerto showcases violin artistry at its finest, while in Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, love blooms only to fade tragically. Norwegian Romantics are known for their folk music influences, but Johan Svendsen offered a grander symphonic surge that elevated Norwegian orchestral music to international prominence. Julie Røssland, the young talent from last year’s concert Stars of Tomorrow, makes her season series debut with the Tampere Philharmonic. Charismatic violinist Henning Kraggerud returns to enchant the audience with his captivating stage presence.
