ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRAThe Roaring 20s

BERNSTEIN Candide OvertureIBERT DivertissementPROKOFIEV Violin Concerto No.1 in D MajorPORTER Selection of songs from Cole PorterPROKOFIEV Suite from Love for Three Oranges

Conductor Alexander ShelleyViolin Alexandra SoummVoice Kim Criswell

Led and curated by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Principal Associate Conductor, Alexander Shelley, this concert explores the light-hearted side of the roaring twenties. Brimming with humour and sprinkled with wit, this concert brings together pieces such as the Suite from Prokofiev’s absurd fantasy-opera Love for Three Oranges, the Overture to Bernstein’s comic operetta Candide and Ibert’s cheekily fast and furious Divertissement.

Joined by Alexandra Soumm, a ’23 year old who delivers playing of astonishing power from a slight frame in a way that seems to defy nature,’ the Orchestra will perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No.1. Coloured by a magical, fairy tale-like quality, this piece is notable for its constraint and lyricism. Closing this concert will be a delightful selection from the father of the Broadway stage, Cole Porter.

£8 - £30

At times wildly comic, and at times poignant Round and Round the Garden brilliantly portrays the complicated relationships amongst these six intertwined characters. Whatever happened to a peaceful weekend in the country?

HUMPERDINCK Hansel & Gretel OvertureSIBELIUS Violin ConcertoTCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.5

Conductor Fabien GabelViolin Tasmin Little

In no other violin concerto is the soloist’s first note, so delicately dissonant and off beat, more beautiful than in Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Performed by Classical Brit Award winner Tasmin Little, this piece demonstrates Sibelius’ passion for the violin and complete understanding of the sound of the instrument.

This springtime concert opens withHumperdinck’s dreamy Hansel and Gretel Overture which firmly establishes the mood of his enchanted tale. Bringing the concert to a rousing conclusion will be Tchaikovsky’s grand and dignified Symphony No.5. Progressing from minor to major, from melancholy to joy, this piece is filled with the untamed fury of the Cossack. Turning to the theme of Fate,Tchaikovsky expresses the internal turmoil he was experiencing through his gift of melody, which flows throughout this piece.
