ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales: LIVE from Hoddinott Hall
Live from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hoddinott Hall, the UK Premieres of Judith Weir's Oboe Concerto and a new suite from Wagner’s opera Parsifal under the baton of its arranger, Andrew Gourlay.
In our first live afternoon concert of the season from Hoddinott Hall, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales opens with Debussy’s beautiful symphonic poem Prelude a l’Apres-midi d’un faune followed by two works that will be new to audiences: the UK premiere of Judith Weir’s Oboe Concerto, written for and dedicated to the orchestra's former Principal Cor Anglais Celia Craig, and a new suite that brings together the wealth of magnificent orchestral music from Wagner’s opera Parsifal, under the baton of its arranger, Andrew Gourlay. Plus a new recording of 'Clytemnestra' by Welsh composer Rhian Samuel whose music seeks to give women a voice, here adapting Aeschylus' work from Clytemnestra's viewpoint, and George Whitefield Chadwick's Tam O’Shanter, a work of vivid musical story-telling based on the tale by Robert Burns.
