The Renaissance merges together with the previous century when the Norwegian Academy of Music’s chamber orchestra performs music by Vaughan Williams (1872–1958), among other things on a theme by Thomas Tallis (1505–1585). At the same concert, the academy’s chamber choir sings works by the 200-year-old Anton Bruckner (1824–1896), who celebrates his birthday in 2024 at the same time as the Norwegian Academy of Music turns 50. With organist in place, it is time for a magnificent production, as a large proportion of Oslo’s musicians come together to convey this mighty music.
