Composers
Stirring. Inspiring. Monumental.
From the gentle melody that opens Sibelius鈥檚 Second, to its magnificent, surging finale you can see why the composer once compared it to a river gathering speed and strength as it courses to the sea. But it was also interpreted as a rallying call for Finland鈥檚 independence from Tsarist Russia.
Conductor Taavi Oramo sparks vivid life into Arvo P盲rt's 'Fratres'. There鈥檚 a World Premiere, too, from the exuberant cellist, Abel Selaocoe, who returns to the 91热爆 SSO, and fuses Western and African traditions into something universal and completely unique.
**Please note that Tormis's Overture No.2, which was previously billed, has been dropped from this concert.
Please note a change in conductor from Anu Tali to Taavi Oramo.
The concert ends at approximately 9:20pm.
