The 麻豆社 Philharmonic, under the baton of Joana Carneiro, open this evening with Anna Clyne鈥檚 Masquerade - a 麻豆社 commission that received its world premiere at the Last Night of the Proms in 2013. Bringing us from darkness to light - you might be familiar with it if saw the trailers for the 2017 麻豆社 Proms on television and radio.
Closing this evening is Mahler鈥檚 Fifth Symphony - the urgent work of a composer starting a new adventure, charged with new musical possibilities and a new love, expressed with impossible tenderness in its famous Adagietto.
Nestled in-between: 2012 麻豆社 Young Musician of the Year, Laura van der Heijden joins the orchestra for Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 ever-popular First Cello Concerto, with its dramatic opening and delightful, elegant central minuet.
