10th Symphony Concert

conducted by Otto Tausk / soloists: Lucas & Arthur Jussen, piano

Igor Stravinsky Symphony in three movements
Fazıl Say Fazıl Say Concerto for piano four hands and orchestra »Phoenix« op. 97
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov »Scheherazade« Symphonic Suite based on »One Thousand and One Nights«, Op. 35

 

One more work by our Artist in Residence 2022/23 will be heard at the symphony concert finale: Say's Concerto for Piano, Four Hands, for which the Dutch pianist brothers Lucas & Arthur Jussen take the stage: a truly exceptional young duo of performers whose mutual sense for the nuances in each other's playing has been confirmed by the most eminent conductors.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the St. Petersburg composer ‘novators’ strove to counter Russia's hitherto primarily Western-influenced musical culture with an ‘Eastern music’ that included the world of ideas and sounds of the Orient. It was in this environment that Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade was written in 1888, which truly absorbed the fascination of the fairy tales from the Arabian Nights. Even though the individual movements here have programmatic titles, the fairy-tale oriental symphonic music is intended above all to stimulate the listener's imagination. The solo violin, virtually Scheherazade herself!, provides the perfect door opener.

 

Public dress rehearsal on Sunday, 11 a.m. in the Weimarhalle.
Tickets: 12,00 Euro, limited contingent
