In addition to being a Norwegian star violinist, Henning Kraggerud is a very skilled composer and arranger.

Tonight we will hear a fairly new work by him. But first Beethoven’s beautiful violin romance in G major, then works by Grieg and Atterberg that Kraggerud himself has arranged, the latter together with the flutist Maria Ose.
