Programme Note

The concert opens with the brilliance of Fanny Hensel with her "Overture in C major." This vibrant piece, composed by one of the 19th century's most gifted yet often overlooked talents, is a celebration of joy, energy, and artistic prowess. Hensel's overture dances with lively rhythms, bold harmonies, and a spirited charm that will leave you breathless and inspired. Next, delight in the playful elegance of Bizet's "Jeux d'Enfants" ("Children's Games"), a suite of charming miniatures that capture the innocence and whimsy of childhood. Each movement paints a vivid picture, from the light-hearted skipping rope to the gentle lullaby, evoking a sense of wonder and nostalgia that resonates with audiences of all ages. Finally, experience Tchaikovsky's captivating "Suite No. 1 in D minor," where the rich, brooding themes and delicate interplay of melodies transport you to a world of poignant drama and exquisite beauty. As the suite unfolds, you'll find yourself drawn into Tchaikovsky's masterful orchestration, a true testament to his genius.
