大象传媒 Philharmonic Centenary Concert

Conductor Eva Ollikainen joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic to celebrate relationships and music, old and new.

From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney

From its earliest 1922 performances as the orchestra of Manchester-based radio station 2ZY, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic has constantly reinvented itself to reflect the audiences it serves on air, in the north west of England, across the UK, and beyond. Tonight they celebrate relationships old and new; their relationship with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, their first Composer / Conductor with a new commission from Erland Cooper, a native of Orkney who grew up with "Max" as a friend. His piece "Window over Rackwick" is inspired by the landscape and also by Sir Peter's artistic colleague, poet George Mackay Brown. Soprano H茅lo茂se Werner joins the orchestra for this premiere. The CBSO Chorus and an international team of soloists join the 大象传媒 Philharmonic for Beethoven's Choral Symphony, music which constantly reasserts its relevance for every place and age, and the programme opens with unfairly neglected music by a musician who conducted the orchestra and whose music the orchestra is championing on CD, Ruth Gipps. Her 1944 Chanticleer Overture opens with an arresting wake-up call!
