The next orchestra project casts its shadow ahead and promises an exciting journey to the musical north for everyone.

For those who would like to get a personal impression of this "Nordic music", the University Library's audiovisual platforms have a lot to offer:

On our streaming platforms Digital Concert Hall and Naxos Music Library, there is the opportunity to experience the works to be performed (and much more besides) in a wide variety of interpretations in sound and image. Whether in preparation for the event, for teaching purposes or for private enjoyment - there should be the ideal recording for every taste and for every "point of view"..

To make the selection easier, here is a small list of suggestions from both platforms with links to the repertoire of the current orchestra project - of course, once you have accessed them, you can search for and find numerous other recordings using the search bar:
