Programme

Concert information

A single trumpet poses the question: but the answer seems to drift ever further out of reach. Charles Ives鈥檚 The Unanswered Question is a musical puzzle that unlocks a whole concert of musical mysteries. Are Rachmaninov鈥檚 Symphonic Dances a ballet, symphony in disguise, or something more personal than either? British conductor Michael Francis will bring out all their power, their tenderness and their sheer untrammelled melody. And Brett Dean remains cryptic about some of the 鈥渄ramatis personae鈥 who inspired his fascinating new trumpet concerto 鈥 but there鈥檚 no question that its dedicatee, H氓kan Hardenberger, is the most electrifying classical trumpet player in the world today.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
