Programme

Concert information

鈥淧lay me some village music鈥 declared Antonin Dvo艡谩k at the height of his fame. 鈥淭hat鈥榮 what I like鈥. And at the heart of the lovely slow movement of his Eighth Symphony, that鈥檚 exactly what he composed: a moment of sheer, unaffected happiness at the heart of a symphony that brims over with affection and joy. It鈥檚 a delightful showcase for the 鈥渢remendous鈥 (The Herald) young British conductor Alpesh Chauhan, and it鈥檒l strike sparks off the uproarious jazz stylings of Malcolm Arnold鈥檚 Second Clarinet Concerto, delivered with flair by 成人论坛 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Annelien Van Wauwe. Romantic string miniatures by Mendelssohn and Webern, meanwhile, are like pools of calm amidst the festivities.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio 3.
