Scandinavian and Baltic Music
In Northern Lights, we devote an hour every week exclusively to Scandinavian and Baltic music. Our musical search knows no boundaries, taking us from the old to the new, from the familiar to the decidedly less familiar. That alco includes the entire spectrum of quasi-classical music and crossover styles. Three composers, three musical perspectives from Northern Europe. Finnish composer Olli Mustonen takes us into the world of the cello, Søren Nils Eichberg explores myth and drama in his viola concerto, and Swedish composer Daniel Börtz completes the programme with his Piano Trio.
