RPO: Brahms 1
London, Cadogan Hall — Main Hall
About the Event
The captivating journey of Brahms’ First Symphony begins with the pulse of a tormented heart, culminating in a triumphant hymn. In contrast, Debussy’s “Prélude à l’après‐midi d’un faune” opens gently with a sensuous flute, inviting listeners into a dream world brimming with evocative sounds. These two boundless fantasies offer unforgettable musical voyages, masterfully brought to life by the innovative conducting of Ariane Matiakh, making her debut with the RPO tonight. Between these pieces, an extraordinary adventure awaits as cellist Zlatomir Fung, a former Artist‐in‐Residence with the RPO, introduces the world premiere of a whimsical new composition by the avant‐garde British composer Laurence Osborn. This piece, inspired by the enchanting world after dark with all its secrets and marvels, remains unheard by any audience. Don’t miss the magical moment when it first comes alive.
