To Spring we go! This concert opener, written in honor of composer Daniel Perttu's daughters, epitomizes the season of Spring. One might almost think they've been swept up in a fairytale!
Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5, "Reformation" was a slow-burn for the public that truly took off twenty years after its first premiere. What begins as serious and introspective grows into a grand and powerful ending filled with respect, joy, and celebration.
Experience the sublime beauty and profound emotion of Dvořák's timeless Cello Concerto, performed by Alban Gerhardt, heralded by The Guardian as "...one of the finest cellists around - expressive, unshowy and infinitely classy." From its soulful melodies to its impassioned cadenzas, Dvořák's masterpiece showcases the full expressive range of the cello, captivating audiences with its timeless elegance and stirring lyricism.
