Programme:
*** SELLING FAST ***
Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro Overture
Brahms: Violin Concerto
Dvorak: Symphony No.8
The ever-delightful scurrying Overture to Mozart’s beloved comic-opera
The Marriage of Figaro heralds one of the greatest of violin concertos.
Brahms’ music revels in pitting the soloist against the orchestra, only to
later have the two forces entwine in mellifluous depths, before ending
with the rhythmic swing of the ‘Hungarian’ finale. Dvor¢ák’s Symphony
No.8 is a joyously outgoing and heartfelt work that brings Bohemia’s
countryside and native aspects, intrinsic and populist, to vivid and
exuberant musical life.
Meet the artists, free pre-concert talk from 6.30pm presented by Edward Seckerson.
