The evening brings together three composers whose voices span the Classical and Romantic worlds, each offering a distinct perspective on drama, virtuosity, and symphonic imagination.
Emilie Mayer’s Faust Overture opens the concert with dark Romantic intensity. Inspired by the legendary tale of temptation and inner conflict, Mayer crafts a vivid orchestral narrative full of restless energy, bold contrasts, and striking thematic clarity. Her music sets the stage with a sense of urgency and emotional depth.
Giovanni Bottesini’s Double Bass Concerto No. 2 shifts the spotlight to the instrument rarely placed at the front of the stage. Bottesini - himself a virtuoso - writes with agility, lyrical warmth, and operatic flair. The concerto reveals the double bass as both a singing, expressive voice and a vehicle for breathtaking technical brilliance.
The programme concludes with Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, the final symphony he composed and a triumphant culmination of his London period. Its noble slow introduction, lively folk‑infused themes, and radiant finale showcase Haydn at his most inventive and joyful, bringing the concert to a spirited and uplifting close.
We look forward to seeing you there!! 🙂
