About This Event
Dvo艡谩k's Cello Concerto is the centrepiece of a concert inspired by nature - as Anna-Maria Helsing, cellist Senja Rummukainen and the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra travel deep into the wild and wonderful heart of Europe.
Deep in the forests and meadows of Bohemia, something primal stirs. The soul of a nation, heard from afar? The sounds of nature, untamed and eternal? Or simply the spirit of a young fox, bright-eyed and alert, exploring a world where everything - even humanity - sings to nature鈥檚 tune? Anna-Maria Helsing and the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra plunge headfirst into this teeming world, savouring every rustle of leaves in Smetana and Janacek鈥檚 vibrant, life-affirming musical landscapes.
There鈥檚 unchained human emotion, too, in Dvorak鈥檚 epic Cello Concerto: music of love, loss and unbounded joy, performed tonight by the charismatic young Finnish cellist Senja Rummukainen (鈥渢he intensity was total鈥 was how one critic described her playing). And former 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra composer in residence Dobrinka Tabakova presents, for the first time, the conclusion to her Earth Suite 鈥 a very personal celebration of nature, unchained and renewed.
