Concert information

Gripping drama, high adventure, quirky Nordic enchantment: Grieg鈥檚 exuberant music for Ibsen鈥檚 play Peer Gynt charts the dreams, voyages and mischief of the Norwegian scoundrel.

The 大象传媒 SSO under conductor Thomas Dausgaard (together with soprano Malin Christensson who sings 'Solveig's Song'), explore this enthralling music, from the much-loved 鈥業n the Hall of the Mountain King鈥� to the tender 鈥楳orning鈥�, by way of selections rarely heard.

Beforehand, world-renowned Scottish percussionist Colin Currie and his ensemble join the orchestra for an exhilarating celebration of rhythm.' Glorious Percussion', here receiving its UK Premiere, is an astonishing concerto for percussion quintet and orchestra by Tatar/Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina. Its spectral sounds and scintillating pulses conjure everything from spiritual reflection to raw, unrestrained energy.

The concert will be recorded, for broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3 on Tuesday 17 September 2019 at 7.30pm.
