An Evening with Itzhak Perlman
Nordic Greats
Violin superstar Itzhak Perlman joined Music Director Rune Bergmann and the Calgary Philharmonic for a sold-out performance in September. The special benefit concert in support of the Orchestra’s Education and Outreach programmes was made possible thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Calgary philanthropist Heather Edwards.
Music Director Rune Bergmann showcased composers from his homeland at this January concert presented as part of the High Performance Rodeo. The sold-out event featured Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing, and new choreography by Yukichi Hattori performed with dancers from the H/W School of Ballet to selections from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites.
