This performance was a true celebration of Mendelssohn. Held in the historic Roros Church, built in 1784 during the golden age of the Roros Copper Company, the church’s unique architecture and acoustics provided a magical setting. Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang brought Mendelssohn’s lyrical beauty and technical brilliance to life, while the orchestra’s precise and emotive performance added depth. The event beautifully showcased music inspired by Mendelssohn’s visits to northern Europe.
