Experience the music of Scandinavian contemporaries Nielsen and Sibelius, whose music is close to the heart of the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo.

Nielsen's rhapsody overture portrays a sea-borne journey while Sibelius's thrilling portrait of the fabled Finnish hero Lemmink盲inen, which includes the poignant The Swan of Tuonela, is rarely encountered complete and contains some of his most atmospheric music. Detlev Glanert's Megaris evokes the siren Parthenope, who drowned herself in sorrow at her rejection by Odysseus.

Followed by music by past recipients of the Women Make Music Fund from PRS Foundation - in anticipation of International Women's Day next Wednesday.
