  • The Oslo Philharmonic opened its new season with conductor Mirga Graลพinytฤ—-Tyla leading the orchestra.
  • The concert featured a barefoot violin soloist and energetic orchestral playing, despite a subdued festive atmosphere in Oslo Concert Hall.

A barefoot violin soloist and an energetic orchestra gave the Oslo Philharmonic's new season an encouraging start, according to Aftenposten's classical music critic.

The first concert of a new season traditionally carries a sense of promise. It marks the beginning of a new direction and a return to regular musical life. This week's opening in Oslo Concert Hall, however, took place with some of the usual celebration muted by upheaval in the outside world.

Despite that restraint, the performance itself focused on concentration and exceptionally strong musicianship. Conductor Mirga Graลพinytฤ—-Tyla led the Oslo Philharmonic through the opening concert of the autumn season.

The combination of the barefoot violin soloist and the orchestra's vitality formed the central appeal of the evening. The concert offered, in the critic's framing, plenty for audiences to look forward to as the orchestra began its new season.
