Joaquín Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez
Camille Pépin Un monde nouveau
Jean Sibelius Symphony No. 3
Performers
Ben Glassberg: Conductor
Plínio Fernandes: Guitar
This programme has all the freshness and brilliance of a morning in early Spring.
Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez blazes with Spanish sunlight and passion and has a gorgeously lyrical central movement that has been popularised through diverse arrangements such as Miles Davis’s Sketches of Spain album and the 1996 film Brassed Off!
We also bring a focus to female French composers with a work by Elsa Barraine from the early 20th century that deserves to be much more widely known and a piece by Camille Pépin, one of France’s leading living composers. Sibelius’s luminous Third Symphony sounds like a Finnish forest bursting into leaf and closes the concert.
Pre-Concert Talk
Join us at 7pm in the main auditorium of the Ulster Hall to join our Artistic Director Patrick McCarthy and award-winning writer, broadcaster, historian and author of Quartet: How Four Women Challenged the Musical World, Dr Leah Broad, for a pre-concert talk.
Featuring - The Ulster Orchestra
Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra was formed in 1966 and has established itself as one of the major symphony orchestras in the United Kingdom.
Plínio Fernandes
Plínio Fernandes fuses two worlds together when he performs: his cultural heritage of Brazil, where his musical roots stem from, and his added western classical music experience, as he has studied and finessed his craft in Europe.
