Music of the Midnight Sun Festival

  • A collage of Georgia Jarman and Dima Slobodeniouk. Georgia (left) stands backstage with an illuminated vanity behind her. She wears a red dress and a diamond earring. She has her blonde hair tied back in a high ponytail and she wears red lipstick. She smiles, looking frame right. Slobodeniouk (right) sits in a black suit against a creme-colored wall. He has a brown beard and gray-brown hair. He stares at the camera with his brown eyes, smiling with excitement.
    "Peer Gynt" with the BSO at Symphony Hall
    Dima Slobodeniouk leads the BSO, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, and soprano Georgia Jarman, with actors from Concert Theatre Works, in a dramatic production of Henrik Ibsen's epic play "Peer Gynt," with music by Edvard Grieg.
  • A collage of John Storgårds and Pekka Kuusisto. Storgårds (left) stands in a teal room and leans against a wall. He wears a black suit and black shirt. He has brown hair that fades to gray and gray stubble on his face. He looks at the camera with his dark brown eyes and smiles softly. Kuusisto (right) stands in a dark pink room holding his violin. He wears an oversized black t-shirt and round, clear glasses. He has short blond hair and stands with his eyes closed, listening to whatever he's plucking on his violin. The center of the collage blends the teal and dark pink in a way that mimics the northern lights.
    Kuusisto Plays Nielsen with Storgårds and the BSO
