Niklas Walentin and Classica Orchestra in St. Petersburg

Niklas Walentin and Classica Orchestra play Nielsen and more

On December 26th Niklas Walentin and Classica Orchestra fills the christmas air with beautiful music. They will perform Carl Nielsen’s concerto for violin and orchestra, conducted by Alexander Kantorov. The concert program also includes a performance of Aleksander Radvilovitch’s rendition of Hans Christian Andersen’s Galoshes of Fortune for orchestra and reader.

Niklas Walentin will also perform on December 28th at the traditional New Year festive meeting at the Museum complex “The Universe of Water”, where he will play «Meditation» from Jules Massenet’s opera Thaïs and Bach’s Double Violin Concerto together with Maria Safariants, Artistic Director of the St. Petersburg Palaces Music Festival.

Recently we had a conversation with Niklas about his impressions of Russia and his thoughts on music and culture.
