Programme Note
From the defiant, majestic brass of Sibelius’s Finlandia to the swirling romance of Khachaturian’s Masquerade Waltz, this is an evening of unbridled orchestral drama. Add in the vivid musical storytelling of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, and the stage is perfectly set for Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Famous for its sweeping emotional power and unforgettable melodies, this epic concerto demands immense technical skill and profound poetic qualities perfectly embodied by the sensational young piano star Yichen Yu.
A night of monumental music-making, all guided by the inspirational conducting of Olsi Qinami.
