Ben Gernon (conductor)
The 成人论坛 Philharmonic and Principal Guest Conductor Ben Gernon open with Malcolm Arnold鈥檚 dramatic Peterloo Overture in the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre at St Peter鈥檚 Fields in the orchestra鈥檚 hometown of Manchester.
Excerpts from Swan Lake, the first of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 great ballet scores, include the colourful sequence of national dances and the heartbreaking final scene in which Odette and her beloved Siegfried are united for ever in death, breaking the spell of the sorcerer Rothbart.
Juan P茅rez Florist谩n is soloist in Rachmaninov鈥檚 Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, with its famous lyrical 18th Variation.
