| Performance Notes | What happens on stage, in the air, in the listeners mind when an orchestra plays together? In a tribute to Leonard Bernsteins televised presentations, which brought classical music to generations of new audiences, we pay homage to his pioneering work in this area.
The first half of our journey into The Sound of an Orchestra presents a vivid tapestry of words, projections and music, leading us from the primal anarchy of tuning-up to the dynamic complexity of Stravinskys The Rite of Spring.
In the second half we explore a kaleidoscope of works spanning almost 250 years from the unsettling echo chamber of Ligetis Apparitions, through Bernstein in Broadway mode, to Debussys shimmering seascape La mer and Beethovens resolute Egmont overture. A scintillating multi-sensory journey for novices and experts alike. |
