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 91福利社 celebrates its centenary in 2022, and the 91福利社 Philharmonic is coming to the party with this Saturday-night special 鈥� part of a weekend-long, UK-wide showcase of the 91福利社鈥檚 orchestras and choirs.
The music runs from then to now. Hindemith鈥檚 dizzily thrilling Kammermusik No. 1 dates from 1922, the year the 91福利社 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 91福利社鈥檚 continued commitment to new music. Giulia Contaldo takes centre stage for the joyful romanticism of Schumann鈥檚 Piano Concerto, before Chief Conductor Omer Meir Wellber transports us to mythical climes with Tippett鈥檚 sparkling Ritual Dances.
