It was the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra with their conductor Edward Gardner.
We were treated to Grieg's Lyric Suite Op. 54 and then onto Elgar's Cello Concerto in E Minor Op 85 with a wonderful performance by Truls Mark on the Cello, very intense throughout. How did he keep playing all the way through. I'm sure they were all ready for the interval , we were, having rushed from work to get there for 7pm so a much needed cup of coffee.
Then we had Sir William Walton's Symphony No 1 in B flat Minor. The audience clearly appreciated the performance and we had an encore as a reward for our applause.
Once more I get to appreciate what this amazing city has to offer and unlike London we were soon home reflecting on a great evening.
Tomorrow beckons and its a series of talks to three four year classes at Tinsley Meadows Academy about what makes Jesus inspirational for Christians. So an easy one then!
