Sibelius Tapiola
Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations

Nielsen Symphony No 4
Before the afterparty, comes the concert. 27 year old Armenian cellist, Narek Hakhnazaryan (pictured) will leave you in awe through a display of flawless virtuosity. Performing Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, this young superstar was the winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition (one of the most prestigious prizes in the classical music world) at the tender old age of 22, where he won gold in 2011.
Opening this concert is Jean Sibelius' tone poem Tapiola - drawing on Finnish folklore, this work depicts the animating forest spirit Tapio who lurks near the bleak pine-forests of southern Finland. Dark, lush and brooding Scandinavian forest-scapes are evoked by Sibelius' genius use of orchestral colour.
Concluding the concert is Danish composer Carl Nielsen's electrifying Symphony No 4 - "The Inextinguishable". Beginning with one of the most jolting introductions in the history of orchestral music, this symphony revels in the philosophy and experiences of life in all its forms. Carl Nielsen himself said about his Symphony No 4 - "'The symphony evokes the most primal sources of life ... that is what lies behind all human, animal and plant life, as we perceive or live it'.
So, strap yourself in for quite the ride!
