The evening kicks off with Czech composer Bedřich Smetana's raucous overture to his comical opera The Bartered Bride. The orchestra launches head-first into a dizzying display of speed and brilliance amongst throngs of Czech folk-melody and celebratory wedding-swagger.
32 year old international superstar and concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (whom are regarded as the greatest ensemble in the world) takes centre stage for German composer Johannes Brahms' glorious Violin Concerto. Regarded as one of the mightiest works in the violin repertoire, this concerto was once considered almost impossible to play and requires astounding skill of the soloist.
Completing the program after the conclusion of interval we have another Czech composer - Antonin Dvořák. Considered by many the pinnacle of his symphonic writing, Dvořák's Symphony No 7 concludes the concert. Dvořák resolved that his Seventh Symphony would capture the struggle of the Czech nation, and reflect his want to see the fatherland flourish. This Symphony opens with a brooding stir of low strings, before mounting to an impassioned plea segueing into beautiful melodies carried by the horns and woodwinds. The second movement floats wistfully in a torn realm of beauty and internal reflection of personal challenges. The third movement waltzes along in dancing rhythms of grand scale building to a sense of hard-fought triumph, before the fourth and final movement thunders home.
Each ticket includes an A-reserve seat for the concert (among the best seats in the house) and afterparty.
