About

Tickets: adults 34 € / pensioners 26 € / students, unemployed and conscripts 16 € / children under 18 years 10 €.

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. 

Season series concert | Pre-concert talk at 6 PM 

The concert lasts about two hours. You can find the exact duration and more information on the orchestra’s website: www.tamperefilharmonia.fi/en/ 

You can buy tickets from the Tampere Hall ticket office, Aplodi and the Lippupiste online store (Lippupiste adds service fees and possible shipping fees to ticket prices). 

Changes are possible.
