Change of soloist
Elisso Virsaladze has sadly had to withdraw from this concert. Giulia Contaldo has kindly agreed to join us instead as our soloist for the Schumann.
Happy birthday to us! The Â鶹ÊÓƵAV celebrates its centenary in 2022, and the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Philharmonic is coming to the party with this Saturday-night special – part of a weekend-long, UK-wide showcase of the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV’s orchestras and choirs.
The music runs from then to now. Hindemith’s dizzily thrilling Kammermusik No. 1 dates from 1922, the year the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV was founded. By contrast, the UK premiere of Marionettes by Uzbek composer Aziza Sadikova, a work that looks back to the baroque and forward to the future, stands as testament to the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV’s continued commitment to new music. Giulia Contaldo takes centre stage for the joyful romanticism of Schumann’s Piano Concerto, before Chief Conductor Omer Meir Wellber transports us to mythical climes with Tippett’s sparkling Ritual Dances.
