The musical journey begins with the UK premiere of Coincident Dances by Jessie Montgomery, a vibrant and multicultural tapestry that captures the electric pulse of New York. This energetic work will sweep you into the bustling heart of the city through a blend of rhythmic textures and dynamic sounds.
Next, prepare to be captivated by Elena Kats-Chernin's Fantasie im Wintergarten. In this UK premiere, performed by the brilliant violinist Emily Sun, the violin concerto transports you to the mesmerizing world of 1920s Berlin. Inspired by a silent film set in a fairground circus, the piece artfully contrasts love and betrayal, shifting from delicate tango rhythms to chaotic virtuosity.
To conclude, Huw Watkins' Second Symphony takes the stage. Written during the pandemic, this symphony delivers a bold and emotive experience, balancing ravishing textures with expansive melodies in a tightly crafted, impactful performance.
