    Concert Information

    From his earliest childhood, Carl Nielsen felt the life-force in everything – but he felt it most intensely when he was in the Danish countryside. His Sinfonia Espansiva is a great, wordless hymn to nature, sunny, songful and gloriously refreshing. And even faced with personal tragedy, Nielsen created beauty: his powerful and poignant final symphony feels more like a new beginning than the end of an unforgettable journey.
