Hear music inspired by European folk tunes with the 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra.
Rumoured to have been written in a single summer night, Busoni鈥檚 Lustspiel Overture mirrors the heat of late June with its vibrant strings and overflowing, cheerful melodies. Next up, the wild chord runs and powerful climaxes of Bacewicz鈥� Piano Concerto, a paraphrase of Polish folk songs. English folk tunes are the foundation of Ethel Smyth鈥檚 Overture and Intermezzo from The boatswain's mate, in which she also liberally quotes from her own March of Women, mirrored by the feminist storyline of the opera. Finally, Martin暖 takes inspiration from Moravian folk songs in his energetic Violin Concerto No. 1.
Today鈥檚 conductor and soloists are all students of the RNCM International Diploma scheme who will perform alongside the 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra.
