We welcome the wonderful Maestro Rune Bergmann for his return to the Buffalo Philharmonic! He has brought the spirit and joy of his Nordic home to Kleinhans. The beloved Sibelius tone poem Finlandia opens the program, and Maestro Bergmann closes with brilliant music from his native Norway. Our dear friend, cellist Sterling Elliott, returns with Haydn's glorious second concerto. A brilliant and enchanting program for the spring!
