The Brunel Sinfonia presents Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances
Sibelius Violin Concerto (soloist Emma Steenkamp)
Boulanger D'un matin de printemps
Join us for a vibrant summer concert celebrating colour, contrast, and expressive depth across three remarkable works.
Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps (“Of a Spring Morning”) brings a sense of freshness and vitality, shimmering with light textures and playful energy. Despite its brevity, it reveals a distinctive and imaginative voice, capturing the fleeting beauty of a spring day.
Sibelius’ Violin Concerto stands as one of the most compelling works in the repertoire, combining haunting lyricism with breathtaking virtuosity. Its atmospheric opening gives way to moments of fiery intensity and rhythmic drive, offering both introspection and exhilaration in equal measure.
Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, his final major composition, is a work of powerful contrasts—by turns nostalgic, dramatic, and rhythmically charged. Drawing on echoes of earlier themes, it carries a sense of reflection while bursting with energy and orchestral brilliance.
Together, these pieces form a richly varied programme, full of atmosphere, virtuosity, and bold musical storytelling—an ideal celebration of music for a summer evening.
