Fulham Symphony Orchestra
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]An evening of vivid musical portraits culminating in Mahler’s powerful Fifth Symphony.
Hannah Kendall’s ‘The Spark Catchers’ is inspired by a poem by Lemn Sissay, commissioned for the London 2012 Olympics, which pays tribute to the women and girls employed at a match factory in London’s East End, who went on strike in 1888 protesting their hazardous working conditions.
A selection of Debussy’s piano Préludes, reimagined for orchestra by Colin Matthews, evokes the Alhambra’s imposing Wine Gate, a mischievous water nymph, a portrait of ‘the girl with the flaxen hair’, and a legendary cathedral rising from the sea.
The concert concludes with Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, which spans extremes of emotion, from the darkness of its opening funeral march to an exuberant finale, with the famous Adagietto at its heart.
