Three next-generation representatives of the Nordic classical music scene meet at the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra’s Late Night. Taking to the conductor’s podium is Klaus Mäkelä, the Finnish cellist and chief conductor designate of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, who was born in 1996. His bustling, refreshingly authentic fellow countryman Pekka Kuusisto plays the violin, and also likes to slip into the role of conductor every now and again. Together, the pair interprets Icelandic composer and conductor Daníel Bjarnason’s violin concerto, which was composed specially for Kuusisto in 2017. In Mendelssohn’s »Scottish Symphony«, the programme also includes a classic evocation of the northern European landscape.
