Description:
By the end of the 9th century, the Vikings had defeated all five English kingdoms. The entire country was in the hands of the invaders - except for a small area of marshland. This is where King Alfred of Wessex hid with a few loyal followers. Uhtred, a warrior in Alfred's army, knows the strength of the Vikings. Nevertheless, Alfred wants to wage a final, decisive battle. The pious king relies on God's help, but Uhtred relies more on his battle sword. However, the two unequal allies are in complete agreement on one thing: if the last Throne of the North falls, this defeat would be the downfall of England. Throne of the North won the 1st Composition Competition of the Philharmonic Society of Mantzaros 2017, in Corfu (Greece) and the Orchestra Award.
