Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Nordic Landscapes

About the Event

Enjoy works by Sibelius, Carpenter and Grieg in this programme titled "Nordic Landscapes" with Vasily Petrenko at the baton in Liverpool.

“Some composers mix colourful cocktails” said Jean Sibelius. “I offer pure, cool water”. Certainly, you’ll never hear anything purer or more invigorating than his majestic Fifth Symphony: beginning with a northern sunrise, inspired by a flight of swans and ending with a tune so great and so simple that once you’ve heard it, you’ll never forget it. It’s a true modern classic – and Gary Carpenter’s brand new concerto for the Orchestra’s Principal Bassoon Alan Pendlebury will be one too. Knowing Carpenter, surprises should come thick and fast! Grieg’s delightful Symphonic Dances, meanwhile, aren’t so much cocktails as delicious musical canapés.
