Programme Note

Our concert opens with one of Jean Sibelius' earliest orchestral works brimming with with youthful energy, evocative of Finland's people, and landscape.

We then continue with Shostakovich's First 'Cello concerto with Sara Hajir as our soloist. This energetic work is also evocative, this time of the Russian character; full of stoicism and strength of will.

We conclude with Cesar Franck's Symphony in D minor. This once very popular work written in the final decade of his life was conducted by nearly all the major conductors of the twentieth century.
