 Every year, the "Excelsis" orchestra performs composers and works that are rarely introduced in Japan. This year, the orchestra will feature two Norwegian composers, Johan Svendsen, a close friend of Grieg's, and Johan Halvorsen, Grieg's niece-in-law. Edvard Grieg is one of the most widely known Norwegian composers, but very few others are mentioned by name.
 Svensen, who excelled in orchestral technique and left more orchestral works than Grieg, and Halvorsen, who developed in the vein of the National Music School that Grieg represented. Both of these works are romantic and accessible, so if you are not familiar with them, please take this opportunity to experience them.
