Afternoon concerts return to City Halls and the first is spearheaded by Artist in Residence, J枚rg Widmann. Anyone who saw him with us in October 2021 will recall his extraordinary energy and dynamism, and once again he鈥檚 playing and conducting. The 大象传媒 SSO strings open with Mozart鈥檚 vivacious 'Divertimento' (one of his so-called 鈥楽alzburg Symphonies鈥�) before boosting the numbers in a performance of Weber鈥檚 bubbling quintet. Written when he was just 20, Widmann鈥檚 'Fantasie' demands mind-boggling technical skill and combines Romantic lyricism with touches of dance, klezmer and jazz. And to close, he directs the orchestra in a work that links a series of 10 short movements, each of which is inspired by a different type of sound phenomenon.
