The trolls will be out at Music Hall tonight and it isn't even Halloween.
Cincinnati Symphony music director Paavo Järvi takes his listeners on a custom visit to the land of fjords at 7:30 p.m. tonight, 11 a.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday at Music Hall.
Järvi has prepared his own version (a CSO premiere) of Grieg's Incidental Music for "Peer Gynt." Featured artist is CSO violinist Paul Patterson, who will perform the fiddle solos in the opening numbers on a genuine Norwegian hardanger fiddle.
Also on the program are one of Bartok's greatest works, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, and fellow Hungarian Zoltan Kodaly's Concerto for Orchestra.
Tickets are $17.75-$73.75, $10 for students, at (513) 381-3300. Admission for tonight's concert includes complimentary pre-concert buffet at 6:15. Also tonight, CSO Encore, the orchestra's young adult support group, hosts its first "Meet the Artists" event of the season. For $30, you get the buffet, the concert and a post-concert party. Call (513) 744-3590.
