Programme Note
Looking forward in hope to life beyond Covid, Suffolk Philharmonic brings you a glorious programme of masterpieces from Bohemia.
Settle in with Smetana’s overture to his opera The Bartered Bride, an eccentric romp culminating in breathless suspense.
Then delight in the glorious playing of the young Max Calver, who won the string section of the 2018 BBC Young Musician competition. His rendering of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto will leave you in no doubt that he has a brilliant future ahead.
The interval over, the orchestra’s outstanding players will delight us all with another Dvořák masterpiece, his 9th Symphony From the New World. Written, like the Cello Concerto, during the composer’s brief period living and working in New York, this firmly placed North American music on the map and established Dvořák’s reputation as a genius.
A finalist and winner of the strings category in the 2018 BBC Young Musician competition, Max Calver, cello, brings a rare sensitivity and poeticism to Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.
Leslie Olive, conductor of Suffolk Philharmonic, draws out the best in the musicians to show the extraordinary depths of Dvořák’s New World symphony.
