Vinay Parameswaran conducts the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra in music by Simon, Ibert and Prokofiev

Available for booking

Vinay Parameswaran makes his conducting debut with the Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra, leading a grand programme of works by Carlos Simon, Jacques Ibert and SergeyÌý±Ê°ù´Ç°ì´Ç´Ú¾±±ð±¹.

The centrepiece, Prokofiev’s seventh and final symphony – an emotional and reflective work completed in 1952, only a year before his death. There are echoes of another seventh in Simon’s Fate Now Conquers, which takes its inspiration from the second movement of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, as well as fragments from his journal entries.

Between these two resolute pieces, Ibert’s Flute Concerto – a playfully intricate piece with a pared-back but powerful orchestral part. It’s a challenging showstopper originally written for the legendary flautist Marcel Moyse, but here, picking up the gauntlet in their Â鶹Éç Symphony Orchestra debut is Â鶹Éç Radio 3 New Generation Artist and flautist Elizaveta Ivanova.
