About This Event
鈥淭he indescribable is happening here; the Eternal Feminine lifts us on high!鈥 Franz Liszt always thought big, and his stupendous 'Faust Symphony' deals with nothing less than the temptation, damnation and redemption of the soul itself. Huge, tempestuous and thrillingly dramatic, it鈥檚 a landmark of 19th century music, and this rare full performance makes a truly epic finale to our concert season.
But 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo is an artist who looks to the future as much as the past, and he opens with something entirely new 鈥 the world premiere of a Violin Concerto by the brilliantly imaginative British composer Charlotte Bray. Written for and performed by a giant among living violinists, Leila Josefowicz, expect something special.
