大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales: LIVE from Hoddinott Hall

Live from 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall, the UK Premieres of Judith Weir's Oboe Concerto and a new suite from Wagner鈥檚 opera Parsifal under the baton of its arranger, Andrew Gourlay.

In our first live afternoon concert of the season from Hoddinott Hall, the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales opens with Debussy鈥檚 beautiful symphonic poem Prelude a l鈥橝pres-midi d鈥檜n faune followed by two works that will be new to audiences: the UK premiere of Judith Weir鈥檚 Oboe Concerto, written for and dedicated to the orchestra's former Principal Cor Anglais Celia Craig, and a new suite that brings together the wealth of magnificent orchestral music from Wagner鈥檚 opera Parsifal, under the baton of its arranger, Andrew Gourlay. Plus a new recording of 'Clytemnestra' by Welsh composer Rhian Samuel whose music seeks to give women a voice, here adapting Aeschylus' work from Clytemnestra's viewpoint, and George Whitefield Chadwick's Tam O鈥橲hanter, a work of vivid musical story-telling based on the tale by Robert Burns.
