Programme:
W.A. Mozart - Grande Sestetto Concertante
R. Strauss - Metamorphosen
Thailand's finest new-gen string ensemble, Virtuosi Thailand, presents their 5th anniversary concert. Aiming to reach out to new Thai audiences, the ensemble presents classical masterpieces with emotional and modern nuance. The first of its Seriously Fabulous Classical concert series, seven young leading Thai string musicians will be performing two classical masterpieces for String Septet.
Originally composed in 1779 by the foremost famed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Grande Sestetto Concertante is an anonymous arrangement of his celebrated Sinfonia concertante for Violin, Viola, and orchestra K.364. Though arranged for string sextet, we are very excited to perform for you with a little surprise, hint, the extra double bassist!
Richard Strauss started composing Metamorphosen in 1945. Even though the firstly published version was orchestrated for 23 solo string instruments, Strauss' early realisation for this composition was for string septet. We will be performing the arrangement by Rudolf Leopold which is based on Strauss' original sketches.
The two pieces of music consist of three movements and three continuous sections respectively. Please arrive at the venue early to pick your favourite spot to sit. The concert will last approximately 80 minutes including a short intermission between the two works. Hope to see you all at the concert.
