(I'm guessing that this list gives the performers for the home season in Denmark; it didn't seem to me that the traveling group was quite this large.)

Notes

Another fun show. Arabella Steinbacher is another fantastically talented violinist – and seeing that it's been four years since the last time I heard her, I think I should try harder to see her a little more often in the future!

And while Steinbacher really wowed me with her rendition of the Beethoven concerto, I think I enjoyed the Nielsen symphony best – it was delightfully quirky!
