| Johanneskirken (St John's Church), Bergen, Sydnesplassen, Bergen 5007, Norway Thursday 5-Sep-13 07:30pm Variations on Bach The team of Litton and Gluzman have provided some of the most memorable moments in recent seasons, both in concert and on record. Here they perform Sofia Gubaidalina’s powerfully expressive Offertorium for violin and orchestra, surrounded by symphonic arrangements of Bach’s works in a kaleidescope of styles. "Vadim Gluzman’s playing of Bruch’s Concerto is superb in every way. Andrew Litton and the Bergen Philharmonic are sterling accompanists", BBC Music Magazine Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685-1750), Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV565 (arr.

| Grieg Hall (Grieghallen), Bergen, Edvard Griegs plass 1, Bergen 5015, Norway Thursday 10-Oct-13 07:30pm New Times Andrew Litton has the honor of welcoming the orchestra and audience back to the Grieghall with three works which somehow mirror aspects of the hall’s renovation: the power of modern technology is depicted in Honegger’s Pacific 231, Bernstein delves into changes in the modern psyche, while Prokofiev’s 4th Symphony is itself a thorough modernization of the original score. Award-winning piano soloist William Wolfram joins in for the Bernstein symphony. | ||

| Grieg Hall (Grieghallen), Bergen, Edvard Griegs plass 1, Bergen 5015, Norway Thursday 10-Apr-14 07:30pm Bernstein's Serenade There is a visceral effect from Andrew Litton’s interpretations of Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff. Perhaps it’s only natural, considering his Russian heritage and early apprenticeship with Rostropovitch..The 5 movements of Bernstein’s Serenade are an exquisite evocation of 5 great philosophers expounding on the true nature of love, inspired by Plato’s Symposium. | ||
