Programme Note
For our February concert we are delighted to welcome back guest conductor Neil Thomson, who enjoys a long-standing friendship with the RTWSO. Due to his work with the Goiás Philharmonic in Brazil, Neil has become something of an expert on Brazilian music, and so we asked him to bring something warm and sunny from Brazil to cheer up our chilly February: Suite Pernambucana by Guerra-Peixe, is just the ticket with its vibrant Brazilian rhythms and infectious tunes!
Isata Kanneh-Mason, performing with RTWSO for the first time, brings us the perfect contrast with Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3. The concert ends with a double-dose of Beethoven: his Overture to Coriolan followed by the cheerful and rather light-hearted 8th Symphony.
