Concert Information

Edward Gardner conducts Julian Anderson. Eden celebrates the sculptor Constantin Brancusi while Imagin鈥檇 Corners revolves around Anderson鈥檚 attraction to the French horn.

Carolin Widmann, a passionate champion of new music, joins the 麻豆社 SO for In lieblicher Bl盲ue, a work that uses space in a way that only a live performance can reveal. Symphony is a study in immobility and gradual growth while Fantasias is, in Anderson鈥檚 words, 鈥榝or all its wild contrasts, a celebration of the modern symphony orchestra鈥�.

Originally written for the Cleveland Orchestra, its virtuosity should prove a perfect climax to a weekend celebrating one of the UK鈥檚 most distinctive and original musical voices.
