Gareth Farr From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs:
Part 1 - The Invocation of the Sea
Guillaume Connesson Concerto No. 2 for Flute and Orchestra (World Premiere)
Mussorgsky orch. Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition
Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition depicts paintings by Viktor Hartmann, with each movement musically describing each painting in piquant detail.
Similarly, Gareth Farr’s The Invocation of the Sea paints a vivid picture of many of the sounds and instruments of the Pacific.
We also welcome Emily Beynon to our shores. Currently Principal Flute of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and considered one of the top five flautists in the world by ClassicFM, Beynon premieres a new work by French composer Guillaume Connesson, and is sure to dazzle with her “virtuosity and rich feeling” (Gramophone).
