Concert Information

Edward Gardner conducts Julian Anderson. Eden celebrates the sculptor Constantin Brancusi while Imagin’d Corners revolves around Anderson’s attraction to the French horn.

Carolin Widmann, a passionate champion of new music, joins the ´óÏó´«Ã½ SO for In lieblicher Bläue, a work that uses space in a way that only a live performance can reveal. Symphony is a study in immobility and gradual growth while Fantasias is, in Anderson’s words, ‘for all its wild contrasts, a celebration of the modern symphony orchestra’.

Originally written for the Cleveland Orchestra, its virtuosity should prove a perfect climax to a weekend celebrating one of the UK’s most distinctive and original musical voices.
