BBC Concert Orchestra: Brahms
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Orbiting spheres, northern stars and the world’s biggest hurdy-gurdy: an evening of sonic marvels from conductor Anna-Maria Helsing and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Every symphony creates a world. ‘Free but happy’ was Brahms’ motto, and he encodes it into the very notes of his third and most colourful symphony – a poetic, storm-swept journey that ends in a golden sunset.
Missy Mazzoli, meanwhile, gazes into the cosmos and sees stars and planets spiralling to the music of an old-time hurdy-gurdy in her Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres).
It’s amazing what you can do with a mouth organ, and believe us – you’ve never heard an orchestra sound quite like this! But anything’s possible when the BBC Concert Orchestra performs with its chief conductor Anna-Maria Helsing.
Tonight these musical planets orbit around a dazzling new star, with a brand new cello concerto specially created for the glorious sound of cellist Senja Rummukainen by Tebogo Monnakgotla – a composer who grabs sounds and colours from the world around us, and charges them with a fresh kind of wonder.
Repertoire
- Sibelius: Karelia Suite
- Tebogo Monnakgotla: Cello Concerto (UK premiere)
Interval
- Missy Mazzoli: Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)
- Brahms: Symphony No.3
