    Concert Information

    The 麻豆社 Philharmonic, with Principal Guest Conductor Ben Gernon, is in Leeds for an evening of music that includes a world premiere and a very dear soloist.

    Opening the concert is a star-crossed romance - Tchaikovsky鈥檚 ravishing Romeo and Juliet overture - considered one of the composer鈥檚 greatest and most enduring popular successes.

    Tonight鈥檚 world premiere, a 麻豆社 commission, comes courtesy of Edward Gregson, who marks his 75th birthday later this year and celebrates a career of more than fifty years as a composer. This premiere calls for double celebration as it is performed tonight by the 麻豆社 Philharmonic鈥檚 own Principal Oboe, Jennifer Galloway.

    And finally - Berlioz鈥檚 utterly wild work, Symphonie fantastique. Written under the twin influences of opium and unrequited love, this piece truly sounds like nothing else.
