Description
Dive into a world of musical mastery and experience the unparalleled synergy of two MSO’s favourite string soloists, Amalia Hall (violin) and Andrew Joyce (cello) uniting in Brahms’ Double Concerto.
This masterpiece weaves a rich tapestry of melodies and emotions, showcasing the profound dialogue between violin and cello. The orchestra provides the perfect backdrop for this musical conversation, creating a harmonious experience in a work that embodies both drama and reflection.
Dvorák was a strong voice in the re-establishment of Czech musical identity, and the noble themes, depicting open landscapes, and the dancing Scherzo of the Symphony No 6 bear the stamp of a genius at his height. Here Dvorák pays tribute to both his mentor Brahms and to the rich folk music of his Bohemian homeland. From the exhilarating opening to the triumphant finale, you will be transported to a world of enchantment.
The concert opens with the world premiere of ‘The Coming of Night’ for orchestra by the young English composer Sarah Frances Jenkins, commissioned by the MSO. This evocative work is inspired by a poem of the same title by Emily Dickinson and aims to explore the atmospheres, colours, and images within her depiction of twilight and the transition from sunset to night. The work was premiered as a Sextet originally by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
