They have already enchanted Migros audiences several times: the young musicians of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic under Kristjan Järvi. This time, they let the midnight sun rise in Switzerland – with excerpts from Sibelius’ 2nd Symphony and Stravinsky’s “Firebird”, framed by contemporary works from the Baltic States, which exude their very own mysticism as part of an 80-minute audiovisual synthesis of the arts.
