The Angel's Share: Eldbjørg Hemsing – Arctic

• Eldbjørg Hemsing, violin

We can think of no better way to escape from the sticky, sweaty, dumpster-fire mess that is NYC in July, than by letting the superstar Norwegian violinist-slash-Nordic-goddess Eldbjørg Hemsing take us on a journey through her icy homeland.

For this frosty mid-summer program, Hemsing explores the epic mythology and fragile reality of her native land, contrasting the sunny expansiveness of Grieg's second Violin Sonata with a sweeping suite from Arctic, her acclaimed new album which paints the picture of a magnificent ecosystem threatened by climate change.

This program will be performed each night, July 5-7. Each performance includes an hourlong spirits tasting, followed by a twilight walk through the cemetery to the Catacombs. There are two performances each evening:

Performance #1: 6pm-8:30pm
Reception – 6pm-7pm
Walk/Trolley to the Catacombs – 7pm-7:30pm
Show – 7:30pm-8:30pm

Performance #2: 7:30pm-10pm
Reception – 7:30pm-8:30pm
Walk/Trolley to the Catacombs – 8:30pm-9pm
Show – 9pm-10pm
