The Musicians.
I am pleased to be back with the musicians that I love after more than five months. It’s going to be a very special evening!
The Music.
Immortal Beethoven and then two supreme opera composers of the 18th century, Wagner and Verdi. Both born in the same year, 1813!
Nelson Freire.
He is a giant among pianists, and I am thrilled to be making music with him for the first time!
Stuart Skelton.
We are well acquainted and I am a huge fan!
Carl Vine.
We introduce our Composer in Residence, Carl Vine. His Microsymphony encompasses the dramatic features one expects from a symphony, but compressed into just 12 minutes. It’s the perfect curtain raiser!
